buccal
a route of administration for a drug, examples, actiq (fentanyl transmucosal system) and saphris (asenapine sublingual tablets)
buccal administration works as follows:
1) substance is introduced to the cheek/gum region
2) the substance is absorbed by the membranes
3) the substance goes into the bloodstream
actiq, by the way, is a lollipop looking thing that delivers fentanyl to your cheek and gum membranes slowly.
also, they taste good (about 2 grams of sugar plus flavorings per pop)
fentanyl is an opioid and asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic.
