    It is imperative to underscore that pharmaceutical formulations exhibit considerable variability,


    and not all therapeutic agents are universally accessible in every conceivable form. Furthermore,
    the selection of a specific administration route is contingent upon the distinctive attributes of the
    pharmaceutical agent, the patient's clinical presentation, and the intended therapeutic objectives.
    Prudent and judicious recourse to healthcare professionals is strongly advocated for the
    procurement of precise and individualized information pertaining to the administration of
    pharmaceuticals.
