roxanol

I have a question about roxanol. I am new to hospice and was orientating on a continuous care case. The rn who came out to do the 24 hr visit told me and the other lvn there that roxanol is only effective/ absorbed in the stomach . This is contrary to what I have always been taught, Called pharmacist later who said that was not correct.

Any one have any insight to offer? Is there new research or findings about roxanol?

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a difference in absorption between taking it sublinguallyor by mouth, irrespective of food?

You ended your answer with "kwim?" What does that mean?

by mouth, it is absorbed in the stomach.

sublingually, it is absorbed through soft tissue.

both take effect around same time (according to texts) but i find sl faster and generally more reliable.
