31+ Flavors of Medicated Lozenges

Dissolving troches compounding is a new and exciting medical sector, which focuses on creating medicated lozenges, also known as troches. Troches dissolve in the mouth and can range from soft chew to hard lozenge forms. A unique formulation of the troche allows patients to take in needed compounds in a range of popular flavors.

What are troches?

Troches can treat a wide range of medical conditions. Mouth conditions such as oral fungus or yeast infections, burning mouth syndrome, and more are conditions treated with medicated lozenges. Troches can also provide fast treatment for headaches and hormone replacement therapy. Typical troche flavors include, but are not limited to:

• Grape
• Banana
• Butterscotch
• Peach
• Vanilla
• Raspberry
• Aniseed
• Apple
• Peanut Butter
• Spearmint
• Orange
• Chocolate

How to use a troche

A troche, like any other medicated lozenge, can gradually dissolve between the gum and cheek. The small, quarter-sized troches can take up to 15 minutes to dissolve. Doctors recommend consuming troches after eating or drinking. Patients are advised to move the troche to different parts of the mouth to avoid saturating individual sections. Patients can place the tablet on either cheek or under each side of the tongue.

Easy to consume

A large number of patients can benefit from medicated lozenges due to the different flavors and specialty formulations. Troches can also improve absorption into the bloodstream due to the slowly dissolving nature of medicated lozenges. People who have a hard time swallowing pills can benefit from a medication that is easy to consume orally.

An alternative to ineffective treatment

Topical treatments can sometimes provide limited and unpredictable absorption. Troches are an effective alternative to a variety of medication forms. Patients that require rapid symptomatic relief can use troches due to the fast-acting absorption and onset of effects. Consuming troches avoids medication that goes through the stomach and liver for digestion. Patients with liver dysfunction or stomach issues can handle troches.

Medication never tasted so good

Compound pharmacies can provide patients with specially-formulated troches that feature a delicious taste to mask any unwanted flavors. Unlike other delivery methods that can be inconvenient, medicated lozenges are sublingual drugs that place the medication in the most optimal location.
