It's sold in pill form so I assume so?

  Lookup drug delivery systems. Getting something reliably in the blood stream is not trivial.

  Sure some gets through when ingested, however you typically have the pill dissolve under your tongue for significantly better absorption.

    They're actually not, they're prescribed orally, a lot of people take them sublingually anyway because it's more effective.
