Default Btw

Dear Bizi,
BTW, Wittesea explained to me one time that some meds can be absorbed under the tongue. I was throwing up due to pain meds after a wisdom tooth was pulled. I was worried about taking the Klonopin on time.

She suggested putting the Klonopin under my tongue.
I didn't have to do that. I waited a few extra hours and took a sip of lemon juice to settle my stomach and then after I saw that that stayed down I took a sip of water with the Klonopin.

Not all meds would be as crucial as klonopin for missing a dose of course.

My husband likes cola syrup (Emetrol in the pharmacies here) for settling his stomach when he gets the flu. (But that stuff is yucko for me. I guess it depends on the type of stomach problem.)

Anyway, check with Witt for info like this to have in the future (I hope you won't need it) . She, like you, is an expert on many things.
