To go further, even the instruction “by the mouth” is ambiguous and could mean orally, buccally, or sublingually. Those all have different absorptions with the latter two being mucous membranes and therefore bypassing the liver, leading to different (generally better) bioavailability of medications dependent on the health of those tissues and the type of medication.
