Oral is by mouth and as with any medication, they can have side effects. Even Tylenol has possible side effects so there is always some nursing considerations.
Some medications are taken with food, or milk. Some medications must be taken on an empty stomach. Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure you are following the directions correctly

Oral medication: any medication taken by mouth (also known as PO). (PR- per rectum, IV- intravenous, IM- intramuscular, SQ- subcutaneous, etc.)
Nursing considerations- "5 Rights": Right dose, right medication, right patient, right route, right time. These must be double-checked before administering any medication. As with any medication, check for effectiveness afterward (especially with pain medication). Assess for adequate swallowing/gag reflex, allergies, expected/adverse side effects, etc.
