Conrad Archer · Answer 1

I believe the answer is azithorolyse. Firstly, because it needs to be stored at room temperature verses in a refigerato. Therfore it can be readily available, verses being inside a fridge. Second, the "lyse" at the end of this antibiotic indicates its an enzyme, which means it would speed up the process.

Christopher Velazquez · Answer 2

The correct answer is azithorolyse'em.

Explanation:

The absorption of a drug relies upon many factors like the location where the injection is to be administered, the depth of the injection administered, and the nature of the medicine, that is, whether it is oily or aqueous.

It also depends upon its solubility, that is, whether it is water-soluble or lipid-soluble. The drugs that are water-soluble possesses a longer rate of absorption in comparison to the lipid-soluble drugs, where the drugs get captivated quickly and go into the bloodstream and start functioning instantaneously. In the mentioned case, AzithroLyse'Em refers to a lipid-soluble drug, which will quickly enter the circulatory system and assists in treating severe infection.
