You call them Parenteral drugs or medicine.They are administered by injection or infusion.

Depends on where it's going.
It's all parenteral (not through the GI system)
In the vein, it's intravenous (i.v.), in the muscle it's intramuscular (i.m.), under the skin, it's subcutaneous (sub-q), in the skin, it's intradermal, in an artery, it's intra-arterial (and usually a mistake!)
We can also inject drugs epidurally, intrathecally, around nerves, and pretty much anyplace else you can imagine.
Hope that helps!

Inoculation if you are giving medication of prevention, or an injection if you are giving medications as a treatment; can be intermuscular, intervenious, or subcontaneous.

If it goes into a vein, it's intravenous (abbreviated IV)
If it goes into the skin below the fat, it's subcutaneous (abbreviated Sub-Q)
If it goes into a muscle, it's intramuscular. (abbreviated IM)
