A simple and compact buccal dosage unit is provided for administering a pharmacologically active agent to a mammalian individual. The buccal dosage unit comprises the active agent to be administered, a polymeric carrier that bioerodes and provides for delivery of the androgenic agent over a predetermined time period, and, preferably, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate. The dosage units are ideal for administering drugs that have low oral bioavailability but are nevertheless potent and can thus be administere d in small quantities, i.e., at low dosages, using the compact systems. Method s for administering active agents using the dosage units are provided as well.
