Therapeutic Lozenges
Our pharmaceutical-grade lozenges are designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, providing targeted delivery of active ingredients directly to the throat and oral cavity while ensuring a pleasant taste experience.
Understanding Lozenges
Lozenges are solid tablets specifically designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, releasing active ingredients locally to target the throat or mouth, or systemically through absorption. This controlled dissolution allows for prolonged contact with the oral cavity, making lozenges an ideal delivery system for soothing sore throats, addressing oral health issues, and providing targeted relief.
Unlike conventional tablets that are swallowed whole, lozenges work through direct contact with oral tissues, allowing active ingredients to be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes. This unique delivery mechanism provides both local effects and potential systemic benefits if the active ingredient is absorbed through the mouth.
How Lozenges Work
Understanding the mechanism behind our therapeutic lozenges
Controlled Dissolution
Our lozenges are formulated with specialized excipients that control the dissolution rate, allowing for a slow, consistent release of active ingredients over 10-30 minutes as the lozenge gradually dissolves in the mouth.
Local Action
As the lozenge dissolves, active ingredients are released directly onto the targeted tissues of the mouth and throat, providing immediate local effects such as soothing irritation, numbing, or antimicrobial action.
Systemic Absorption
Some of the released active ingredients may be absorbed through the oral mucosa directly into the bloodstream, bypassing first-pass metabolism in the liver and potentially providing systemic benefits.
