The buccal medication administration route allows medication to enter the blood stream from the mucous membrane in the mouth. In this video, Nurse Sarah demonstrates how to administer a medication via the buccal route (which may also be referred to as the sublabial route).
Buccal (pronounced as buckle) refers to the cheek. While the buccal route is not a common method used in nursing, some drugs are administered via the buccal route. Examples include nitroglycerin, smoking cessation medications, some opioids, and more.
Medication in this form can be in tablet or lozenge form, a liquid form (spray or drops), or even in a buccal film.
As a nurse, you want to read the medication label, as some medications can dissolve within minutes, while others may take hours. You'll want to educate the patient on when they can eat, drink, or smoke. It's also a good idea to assess the mouth for cleanliness before administration, and avoid placing medication over any sores.
Some medication instructions require rotating out the placement, and some instructions are very specific on where to place the medication (example: above the 3rd molar on the maxillary arch).
Always read medication labels and follow the latest protocols when administering medication via the buccal route.
