The buccal route is a method of drug administration where medication is placed between the gums and the inner lining of the cheek, allowing for absorption through the mucous membranes in the mouth. This route bypasses the digestive system and liver metabolism, resulting in faster onset of action. It is commonly used for certain medications, such as those for pain management or hormone replacement therapy. Buccal administration can enhance bioavailability and provide a convenient alternative to oral or injectable routes.
