An MA is reviewing the list of medications a pt reports currently taking. The assistant should recognize that Which of the following medications is available in sublingual form?

Aspirin
Metformin
Nitroglycerin
Simvastatin

The correct answer is: Nitroglycerin

Nitroglycerin is the only medication that is available in sublingual form. Aspirin, Metformin and Simvastatin are typically taken in the form of tablets or pills. Sublingual medications are a type of medication that dissolves under the tongue and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This form of medication often acts faster and has a more immediate effect. Nitroglycerin is commonly used for the treatment of chest pain or angina and is available in sublingual tablets or spray.
