Question 2

What is the difference between oral and sublingual administration of DP?

Accepted Answer

A. First aid, and patients intolerant to gastrointestinal irritation: sublingual administration: The sublingual venous plexus is one important route of administration: water-soluble drugs may quickly enter circulation through the thin mucosa and considerable vessels under the tongue and play their actions. B. Patients disliking the mouth-feel of sublingual administration: oral administration: Before going into circulation, an orally administered drug must pass through the stomach, the liver (the main site of drug breakdown) and the intestine, experiencing the first-pass effect. As a result, some of the active substances are removed from the blood and the concentration of the drug is reduced. Comparatively speaking, the bioavailability of a drug sublingually administered is higher than that orally administered.
