定义

舌下和颊药物给药是两种不同的方法。舌下给药涉及将药物放在舌头下，以溶解并通过那里的组织吸收血液。颊给药涉及在您的牙龈和脸颊之间放置药物，在那里它也溶解并吸收到您的血液中。舌下和颊毒药都有片剂，电影或喷雾剂。

Your doctor may prescribe sublingual or buccal drugs under any of the following circumstances:

  • 药物需要迅速进入您的系统
  • 你吞咽药物很难
  • 药物在胃中的吸收不佳
  • the effects of the drug would be decreased by digestion

The cheek and area under the tongue have many capillaries, or tiny blood vessels. There, drugs can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without going through your digestive system.

Sublingual or buccal forms of drugs have their advantages. Because the medication absorbs quickly, these types of administration can be important during emergencies when you need the drug to work right away, such as during a heart attack.

此外，这些药物不会通过消化系统，因此不会通过您的肝脏代谢。这意味着您可能能够服用较低的剂量并仍然获得相同的结果。

Another advantage is that you don’t have to swallow the drug. Drugs that are absorbed under the tongue or between the cheek and gum can be easier to take for people who have problems swallowing pills.

另一方面,舌下,颊肌萎缩性侧索硬化症的药物o have some disadvantages. Eating, drinking, or smoking, can affect how the drug is absorbed and how well it works. Also, these forms don’t work for drugs that need to be processed slowly by your system, such as extended-release formulations. Any open sores in your mouth can also become irritated by the medication.

Tell your doctor if you smoke or have open sores in your mouth if they prescribe sublingual or buccal medication for you. Also ask your doctor how long you need to wait before you can drink and eat after taking the medication. For some of these drugs, you can’t drink, swallow, eat, or smoke for some time. Sometimes these drug forms can irritate your mouth. Tell your doctor right away if this happens to you.
