It likely will not dissolve sublingually or get absorbed correctly that way because that medicine was not designed to be taken that way. Sublingual medications are designed to be absorbed that way. Perhaps you should talk to your doctor about possible alternatives or ways to treat your gastritis symptoms so you can take the medication more comfortably. Good luck!

It is possible to take thyroid medication Subwing your way, but it is tricky. You usually can’t use Armour Thyroid, and you often have to dose it differently, with the help of your doctor. It works the best with liquid thyroid medication. Contact your doctor to talk about it. Do not try this on your own. If your doctor can’t help, consider a second opinion. Good luck.
