Trofentyl - Model OTFC - Intra Oral Drug Delivery

Intra oral drug delivery provides an excellent route of drug delivery into the systemic circulation. It has inherent advantages such as the prompt onset of action & predictable drug delivery. Trofentyl OTFC is a lozenge of Fentanyl Citrate for the treatment of breakthrough pain. As soon as the patient rolls the lozenge in his/her oral cavity, the drug released from the lozenge gets absorbed from the oral mucosa. The pain relief starts in about 10-12 minutes and lasts for 20-25 minutes. In the event the patient experiences any adverse effects, he/she can simply take the lozenge out and the effect will wear off in a few minutes.
