A sublingual tablet is a type of oral medication that is designed to be placed under the tongue, where it dissolves and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the sublingual artery. Sublingual tablets are used to deliver medications that have a narrow therapeutic window, which means that small variations in dosage can have a significant impact on their effectiveness or safety.
Sublingual tablets are typically smaller than regular tablets and are designed to dissolve quickly, usually within a few minutes. They are often used to treat conditions such as angina (chest pain), allergies, and acute pain. Common examples of medications that are available in sublingual tablet form include nitroglycerin, which is used to treat angina, and fentanyl, which is used to manage severe pain.
Sublingual tablets have several advantages over other forms of medication delivery. They bypass the digestive system, which can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, and they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, which can result in more rapid onset of action. However, not all medications are suitable for sublingual delivery, and patients should always follow their healthcare provider's instructions for taking any medication.
