In clinical research, administering drugs, placebos, or substances requires careful considerations to ensure participant safety. Medical assistance should be available during intravenous administrations for unexpected reactions. It's crucial to inquire about participant allergies beforehand to provide necessary medical support. Respect participants' beliefs by avoiding substances conflicting with their moral or spiritual values. Stay informed on substance suitability for all participants.

Administering drugs, placebos or other substances to research participants
In cases where substances are to be administered intravenously, medical assistance should be on hand to deal with any unexpected reactions. • Even in cases where a placebo is being used with no active ingredients, participants could experience allergic reactions, so medical support may be necessary • Check with participants whether they have any known allergies before starting the research. • The use of certain ingredients may not be acceptable for some participants due to their moral or spiritual beliefs – for example gelatine or other animal products would be unsuitable for vegetarians or people of certain religions.
