Study Notes
I. Sublingual Route
- Drug is placed under the tongue
- Rapid absorption
- Directly into blood vessels
- Avoid first-pass metabolism
- Useful for treating angina pectoris & Vitamin B12
- Drug stability is necessary
II. Buccal Route
- Drug is placed between the gums and the cheek
- Slower absorption than sublingual
- Absorption is through the buccal mucosa
- Avoid first-pass metabolism
- Useful for treating angina pectoris
III. Alternate Routes for Systemic Drug Administration – Transmucosal
- Drugs are absorbed across mucus membranes
- Examples: Sublingual, Buccal, and Transmucosal
- Advantages: Increased absorption, avoids first-pass metabolism, and reduced dosage.
- Disadvantages: Limited absorption, unpleasant taste, and local irritation.
