Stumbled on it by accident.

'After taking an anti-emetic, the member may ingest a fatal dose of Sodium Pentobarbital (NaP), usually 15 grams. This is normally administered in a glass of water, approximately one decilitre.
Pentobarbital of Sodium – also called Sodium Pentobarbital or Natrium-Pentobarbital (NaP) – is an approved sleeping and narcosis drug. As it is alkaline and does not taste pleasant, something sugary may be drunk or eaten immediately afterwards.
Members, who cannot swallow and who are fed via a gastric tube will administer the drug themselves via this tube. A member who can neither swallow nor handle the gastric tube may, by pre-arrangement, administer the Sodium Pentobarbital intravenously. For this it is advantageous that the patient arrives at DIGNITAS with a prepared and properly functioning intravenous access point.
In every case, for legal reasons, the patient must be able to undertake the last act – that is to swallow, to administer via the gastric tube or to open the valve of the intraveneous access tube – him- or herself. If this is not possible, DIGNITAS is unfortunately unable to help'
What alerted me to this:

'BASEL (Reuters) - A 104-year-old Australian scientist killed himself in Switzerland on Thursday by lethal injection in an assisted suicide he hoped would trigger more lenient euthanasia laws in his home country.'
So injection is an option. They just don't advertise it.
