Hi, yes you can take sublinguals. That is what our dr. gives us and only if we really need it we can go to the office and get a shot. George

I have problems with low energy, due to a muscle problem and I take Sublingual B every day several times a day. Most people only need to take it once daily. It has not given me any problems. It contains quite a few vitamins which will help you heal even quicker. I get mine at Walgreen's.
