Tag: Medicated lozenge

Globally, it's estimated that there are over 616 million cases of Strep A sore throat annually. When seeking relief, many wonder: **Is Strepsils a lozenge?** Yes, Strepsils is a brand of popular, over-the-counter medicated lozenges used to relieve discomfort from mouth and throat infections.

Originally derived from ancient Egyptian methods of creating medicated lozenges, a trokey (also known as a troche) is a modern pharmaceutical dosage form that dissolves slowly in the mouth to deliver medication. This unique method of drug administration offers significant benefits by allowing the active ingredients to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the oral mucosa, bypassing the liver's first-pass metabolism.
