Administration of a medication by the buccal route involves placing the solid medication in the mouth and against the mucous membranes of the cheek until the medication dissolves. Crushing the medication is not necessary because it is designed to dissolve in the client's cheek. Clients are not to take any liquids with, or immediately after, medications given by buccal administration. The mouth is not sterile. Sterile technique is not necessary for buccal administration.
