This wasn't spoken about at all when I was there last week and I missed this...so thanks for the heads up...
The nasal spray and the tablet while containing the same medical ingredients will differ in one huge way....
That is the delivery system...While we know a sublingual tablet gets into the bloodstream pretty quick,( not as quick as smoking a joint) when applied through the nasal membrane it enters the bloodstream even quicker...as it has direct access to the olfactory system and a quick route into the CNS.
THis is an important point because where the central nervous system is concerned (CNS), the quicker you can have a measured dose enter the bloodstream the quicker the patient can get relief...for example form the awful pain from a disease like fibromyalgia...
Part of the study is comparing the 2 delivery systems. Some patients may like the idea of a tablet under the tongue more so than a spray in the nose.
