'''Troche''' is a type of [[medication]] that is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. It is also known as a [[lozenge]] and is typically used for medications that are intended to have a local effect in the mouth or throat. Troches are often used to deliver medications for conditions such as [[sore throat]], [[cough]], and [[oral thrush]].

== History ==

The term "troche" is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word "trokhiskos", which means "a wheel". This is a reference to the traditional round shape of a troche. The use of troches dates back to ancient times, and they were originally made from honey and other natural ingredients.

== Preparation ==

Troches are typically prepared by mixing the active ingredient with a suitable base. The base is usually a substance that is sweet and pleasant-tasting, such as sugar or honey, to make the medication more palatable. The mixture is then shaped into small, round discs.

== Administration ==

Troches are designed to be held in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly. This allows the medication to be absorbed directly into the tissues of the mouth and throat, where it can have a local effect. Some troches may also be swallowed, allowing the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream and have a systemic effect.

== Advantages and Disadvantages ==

One of the main advantages of troches is that they allow for local delivery of medication. This can be particularly beneficial for conditions that affect the mouth or throat. However, troches may not be suitable for all medications, as some drugs may not be effectively absorbed through the tissues of the mouth and throat.
