A patient goes to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for fifty tablets to be taken sublingually.What instructions for taking the medication can the patient expect?

“Sublingual” means beneath the tongue. The patient should place the tablet under the tongue and let it dissolve there, rather than swallowing it or placing it between the cheek and teeth. Therefore, the correct instruction is “Place the tablet beneath the tongue.”
