If I understand your question correctly, consider the following ways to administer medication, to name a few:
pills or tablets to be swallowed (with a gulp) with water
pills, tablets, powder, syrup or droplets to be dissolved in water and then swallowed
tablets or losanges to dissolve in the mouth or mouthwash to be gargled, then spat out
eye, ear and nose droplets applied directly for local inflammation or infection
creams, oils, lotions, gels, salves, etc rubbed in and absorbed directly into the skin (sprays as well)
patches or a cataplasm with the active ingredient in direct contact with the skin
vapour from a hot solution inhaled (adtive ingredient dissolved in water)
medicated suppositories or enemas administered with a syringe in the anus or vagina
injections in the skin tissue or directly into a vein
certain light treatment (for example blue light for jauntice or infrared)
even marijuana to be smoked (pallative treatment for chronic pain)
implants with a reserve of medication to be released upon demand
