Compounded melts, also known as lozenges, sublingual tablets or trouches, are medications prepared by a compounding pharmacy in a solid, dissolvable form. They are typically placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve, either under the tongue or against the cheek. Here's a general guide on how to take compounded melts:
Placement: Place the melt under your tongue or against your cheek, where it will dissolve.
Dissolving process: Allow the melt to dissolve slowly in your mouth without chewing or swallowing it. The melt is designed to release the medication gradually as it dissolves.
Complete the process: Once the melt has completely dissolved, swallow any remaining saliva. Avoid eating or drinking for a certain period of time after taking the troche to allow the medication to be absorbed properly.
