What is a non-parenteral drug?

Answer 1

Parenteral administration is any administration that is not via the GI system, meaning oral or rectal. Parenteral means "around the enteral system."

Intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections are all parenteral routes of administration. While inhalation would be considered parenteral in the strictest sense of the word, inhalation or aerosolization of medications are not usually considered parenteral, nor is topical administration.
