Hello

Sometimes you can chose the way you take your medication, other times it is only available in one format. If you could choose, what mode of administration do you prefer to take your medication?

  1. Pill
  2. Nasal spray
  3. Cream
  4. Shot
  5. Chewable tablet
  6. Dissolve in water and drink
  7. Inhaler
  8. Patch
  9. IV injection
  10. Implant


A bit of an unusual question, but it might lead to an interesting discussion!

For me, it's a toss-up between a pill or a shot.
