Gabapentin is primarily absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and is not designed for absorption through mucous membranes. While some medications can be absorbed via mucous membranes, gabapentin's formulation and intended route of administration do not support this. Therefore, it is not effective or recommended to use gabapentin in a manner that targets mucous membranes. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate usage.

Which drugs are absorbed through the mucous membranes of the nose and throat?
Only drugs that are water soluble, or have a high water solubility, can be absorbed through mucous membranes. Examples of these are amphetamines, opiates, many ADD medications, cocaine, etc.. Other non-water soluble (or very low solubility, like all benzodiazepines -- xanax/valium/etc.) drugs should only be ingested orally since the only effect via mucous membrane administration would be a placebo (or until the drug dripped back into your throat and entered your stomach eventually)

Does the salt get absorbed in the mouth?
Yes, salt can be absorbed in the mouth, primarily through the mucous membranes. When salt comes into contact with saliva, it dissolves, allowing sodium ions to enter the bloodstream. However, the amount absorbed through the mouth is relatively small compared to what is absorbed in the digestive system after swallowing. Overall, most salt absorption occurs in the intestines.
