No. Spell resistance doesn't affect spells you cast on yourself, and when you drink a potion, the drinker is treated as the caster.

Doesn't matter, as far as I know.
"The drinker of a potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect[.]"
and...
"A creature's spell resistance never interferes with its own spells, items, or abilities."
And if it's a potion injected by an iron cobra?

Interesting question! I would say that technically a creature with SR can't resist a spell it casts on itself (even unwillingly) according to the rules, but ultimately I'd let the DM decide.

Yeah, this one has me humming and hawwing too. I think it would be great to have an iron cobra made of cold iron that would inject harmful potions (contagion, inflict serious wounds, bestow curse) into demons, but the whole question of SR makes it a tricky proposition.

I think a DC 14 saving throw would apply in the cases you list, so it probably wouldn't be overpowered to allow it.

Hmm... if the imbiber is the effective caster, I think the demon's Charisma modifier might increase the save.
