Question
Oral: medication that is swallowed and is absorbed in the digestive system; either a pill or liquid, most common, takes a while to kick in
Intramuscular: medication is injected into the muscle; absorbs slower than through IV, absorbed by muscle first, flu shot
Intravenous: medication is injected directly into vein; absorbs the fastest, goes right into bloodstream
Subcutaneous: medication is injected below the skin; absorbs slower than intramuscular due to there being less blood flow, insulin injection
Transdermal: medication is absorbed into the skin using a patch; gets absorbed slowly over time through skin into blood stream, nicotine patch

You could respond with a thoughtful note that acknowledges their explanation and perhaps adds some personal insights or questions. Here’s an example of what you might say:
---
"Great summary of the different medication routes! It’s interesting to see how each method has its unique absorption rate and application. I particularly find the transdermal method fascinating—it's amazing how a patch can deliver medication over time. Have you ever used a transdermal patch yourself, or do you have a preference for any specific route based on experience? Additionally, I wonder how these different absorption rates affect patient compliance and overall treatment effectiveness. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!"
