Nitroglycerin is administered sublingually, which means it is placed under the tongue and absorbed through the sublingual mucosa. This allows for rapid onset of action and avoids first-pass metabolism in the liver that would occur with oral ingestion (enteral route). It is also not given via injection (parenteral route) or through the mouth (lingual route).
