Hi Rob,
>I am a nurse and I know in the ER we would sometimes use Nifedipine SL where you just break the gel capsule and place under the tongue for quick results.
Nifedipine isn't well absorbed sublingually. It's more rapidly absorbed orally. It works most quickly if you break open a capsule in your mouth and swallow the contents - rather than holding them under your tongue.
Kind regards
