Transmucosal Absorption

Water soluble molecules can be used sublingually also.

Steroids are lipophilic but must be prepared to act hydrophilic with an HPBCD complex, like in this study.

This study talks about how more lipophilic opiods are more efficiently delivered accross the mucosa. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2458208&dopt=Citation

I think you have to take mollecular weight into consideration also. If anyone else has any info or studies I would be interested. I would just avoid making a general judgement about sublingual availability according to polar/nonpolar characteristics only.
 
I would suggest you complex oxandrolone to put it in a lolly. The mollecular weight is a bit higher than test suspension. Other than that, the molecules are pretty similar. I will try to find some solubility numbers for the 2.
