- By Intranasal Inhalation (e.g., certain medications delivered as fine powders or sprays directly to the nasal passages)
- By Sublingual Administration (e.g., medications placed under the tongue for fast absorption, like certain heart medications)
- By Buccal Administration (e.g., drugs placed between the cheek and gum for absorption)
