Literally: 'under tongue'

If you have to take a pill or some type of other medication (nitro perhaps) sublingually, you place it underneath your tongue and let it dissolve.

What is Axert?

Axert (almotriptan) is an abortive migraine medication. Triptan medications work by working with serontonin receptors in the brain to decrease the inflammation that occurs during a migraine attack, effecting both blood vessels and nerves. As an abortive medications, it can stop a migraine in its tracks, relieving both pain AND neurological symptoms. Keep in mind that there are many different kinds of triptan medication now. Just because one doesn't work for you, does not mean none of them will. Also, some of the triptan medications have different ways to administer them. Imitrex has injections, as well as a nasal spray and tablet. Maxalt has a subligual tablet which melts under the tongue, and Zomig does as well. These can be especially useful if nausea and vomiting is a predominant symptom of your migraines, because it offers you ways to get the medication in your system without worrying about throwing it up.


How long should you wait to take suboxone after taking morphine?

That actually depends on the individuals system, and whether or not that person has a morphine addiction or not?Suboxone subligual tablets have a blocker for narcotics in them. If you have take suboxone on top of morphine I have seen many people have no reaction at all!On the other hand, if you take suboxone before taking morphine it will in fact block the morphine's effectiveness.Suboxone goes to the opiate receptors in the brain, and fills them. Therefore when the morphine goes to the head there are no receptors for the narcotic to plug into.Suboxone was researched at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore as well as at John Hopkins Bayview Hospital previously called Francis Scott Key Hospital and previous to that it was City Hospital.This is a question I know the answer to without a doubt.Suboxone works as a narcotic antagonist and for a person on methadone, suboxone will actually sap the body of the methadone and send the person into withdrawel from their methadone habit rather quickly!Suboxone is also effective in blocking heroin which is also a by product of morphine.amendment: Suboxone can also send some addicts into withdrawel if taken after their daily dosing of morphine or any other opiate that I am privvy to, with the possible exceptions being synthetic or man made narcotics (which are not true opiates), as opposed to opiates which are made from the processing of the poppy plant grown in Afganistanand Pakistan in an area called the (Golden Crescent), as well as in,Viet Nam, Burma, Laos and Thailand known as (The Golden Triangle)whch is one of Southeast Asia's biggest opium producing areas. by the way, i got my degree at 5th street brewery and crack alley in new jersey!
