Nitrogen (ATC code V03AN04) is used as a medical gas primarily for cryosurgery, tissue freezing, and as a component of gas mixtures for respiratory support. It is not a pharmaceutical agent in the classical sense and is generally not 'administered' as a drug for systemic pharmacological effect. It remains an important tool in surgical and diagnostic procedures, but is not 'approved' as a therapeutic agent via classical drug mechanisms.
No systemic pharmacokinetic parameters are available for nitrogen when administered as a medical gas, as it is inert and not metabolized, absorbed, or subject to traditional PK modeling in humans.
