Here is a list of abbreviations for routes of drug administration. Can you work out what they mean?

1 ITH	4 IV	7 INH
2 SC	5 IM	8 NEB
3 ID	6 O	9 TOP

In many NHS Trusts, very few abbreviations are permitted to be used on a drug chart: subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM), IV, O, nebulisation (NEB), topical (TOP), and inhalation (INH). Everything else has to be written out in full so that mistakes don't get made.
