Oral administration is the administration route where a substance is taken by mouth. Per os (P.O.) is sometimes used as an abbreviation for taking oral medication. Many drugs are taken orally as they are meant to have a systemic effect, reaching different parts of the body through the bloodstream, for example.

Terminology
"Per os" ( P.O.) is an adverbial phrase that literally means from Latin "by opening" or "by opening." This phrase is used in medicine to describe the treatment taken orally. P.O is abbreviated. often used in medical prescriptions. P.O. also sometimes given per orem, which is sometimes broken to per oram. This is grammatically incorrect; "os" is the neutral noun of the 3rd slump and thus the accusative case is the same as the nominative case.
