Vaginal and Rectal Dissolvable Dosage Forms
These dissolvable vaginal and/or rectal tablets, creams, and gels are designed to directly absorb into local tissue for targeted relief.
Targeted Relief from Symptoms
Vaginal or rectal dissolvable medications include tablets, creams, gels, and suppositories. These dissolvable medication forms may provide faster, more targeted relief from certain symptoms and conditions since they are directly absorbed into the local tissues. Since vaginal and rectal products avoid the digestive system, this may also help alleviate nausea or other gastrointestinal sensitivities.
Vaginal Troches
Vaginal troches are dispensed in a square mold that holds 24 or 30 dosage units. With a few exceptions, square troches hold up to 200mg of active ingredients. Vaginal troches are scored in a plus symbol pattern and are most efficiently used when cut in half, as this allows the small rectangle to fit nicely inside the tip of a vaginal applicator preceding insertion.
Matching the dose to the half-troche is a common practice. Different bases, including cocoa butter, are available.
Vaginal and Rectal Suppositories
Vaginal and rectal suppositories come in bullet-shaped packs of 12, either in pink or blue, depending on what size is needed to accommodate the active ingredient. While troches are useful for smaller doses, suppositories allow for larger doses of active ingredients.
Active ingredients are mixed with a base that consists of our proprietary blend of solidified vegetable oils and polyethene glycol (PEG)-8. This base is hypoallergenic and melts easily at body temperature, making it ideal for vaginal and rectal dosage forms.
