Below or beneath the tongue.


Under the tongue.


Pertaining to the oral mucosal surface immediately under the tongue; often used as a delivery modality for medications in which the medication is allowed to dissolve under the tongue.


The phrase signifies “beneath the tongue.” Medications ingested sublingually, whether in tablet form or as a spray, are swiftly assimilated through the mouth’s lining and into the bloodstream. For instance, nitrate medications are administered sublingually to swiftly alleviate the symptoms of an angina episode.
