intranasal
Via nasal passage
Intranasal means through or into the nose.
The term appears in medical and pharmaceutical contexts describing how drugs are administered: intranasal spray, intranasal vaccine.
Cocaine and certain prescription medications are taken intranasally—snorted or sprayed into the nasal passages for rapid absorption.
