I haven't read enough about that and am looking for info on that. I take medication for migraines, depression and insomnia and I don't think a lot of that will go away anytime soon.

Not well for extended/sustained/ prolonged/delayed/ retarded release forms of pills based on my readings (which is particularilarly vexing for birth control pills).

 

WE can do immediate release formulations well (based upon my reading).

I had a condom snafu with hubby. I thought I should take plan b.  But I cant orally absorb well.  I had to take several pills intravaginally to achieve the required plasma concentration.

I have NEVER stuck a pill THERE before.....

OMG...

And it wants to stick to your finger!  ACK!!!

You shoved several Plan B pills in your vagina?  I'm sorry, I'm just trying to clarify this because it's something I've never heard of before.

Yes.

It is one of the "alternative routes" for medicament absorption.

Other alternative absrption sites, the scalp (but the stuff has to be a cream, lotion or gel), the nose (typically a solution), the inner mouth or under the tongue (oral films which stick to the side check, sublingual tablets), the rectum (think suppository, and intravaginally.
