Which route of administration requires the medication to be placed between the gum and the inner lining of the cheek? Sublingual Buccal Nasogastric Topical

The correct route of administration you're looking for is buccal. This method involves placing the medication in the pouch created between the gums and the inner lining of the cheek, allowing it to dissolve and be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, which can lead to quicker effects than oral ingestion. Buccal administration is especially useful for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills or those who need rapid relief from symptoms, as it bypasses the digestive system and avoids first-pass metabolism in the liver. It’s like a little secret passage for medicine to get straight to work!
