If it's a coated tablet, no, it is not designed for that route even though it's possible to anyways.

I take my estradiol sublingualy and it dissolves within five to seven minutes. The estradiol has definatley been working for so I would say it's an effective method, but everybody is different so idk.  Mine is a little blue-ish pill that tastes like mint.

I take the same stuff and they dissolve under my tongue, or wherever they decide to roam in my mouth if I'm not paying attention.  I guess it's working.  I look the same to me but with puffier nips, but to others I look a *little* different.

I keep mine under the tongue and try not to swallow, talk, or move it around until it is 100% dissolved and absorbed. It takes a bit longer that way, but it makes sure that I'm not swallowing most if it. I've heard of some people putting it between their gums and lips, but I have not tried this method and couldn't vouch for it. Good luck!

I was on estrofem which is a little blue pill for years and I was told to take it sublingual.
I was just recently switched to the estradiol gel, because it does not affect the liver.
:) Ps the pill worked very well!
