Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sublingual administration involves placing the drug under the tongue to dissolve and be absorbed into the bloodstream directly. Eating can disrupt this process, so it's advised not to eat until after the drug has dissolved. Drinking water, chewing the drug, smoking, or placing the drug between the cheek and gum are not correct instructions for sublingual administration.
