Hi dear,
Thanks for your query to health care magic. There are both oral and injectable options available for illness. As long as you are taking orally well, you can give a try with oral medications. Only issue with oral medications is a lot of unpredictable factors affect absorption of the drug. Injectable drugs get directly into blood stream hence we can be confident about its absorption. You can give a try with oral but if it doesn't respond then please accept iv medications.
Take care
