Certain medicines, like Angina tablets for example, can be put under the tongue for rapid uptake. Because the skin under the tongue is very thin and allows the components in the medication to enter the bloodstream much faster than if ingested in the stomach, the method is preferred when a speedy reaction is required. This method is not suitable for all medicines, however. Some are designed specifically to work slowly.
