Before going to MRI, my doctor gave me an Ativan to melt under my tongue. I knew the ones to swallow. What is the difference? Thank you

Hello, this tablet formulation was created to make the medication easier to take and can be taken without drinking water. This is a great advantage for patients who are at risk of choking on liquids. In your case, it was likely prescribed for convenience. As for the speed of action, it should be similar to the normal oral intake (swallowed). We look forward to seeing you.
