Medicated lozenges flavors

The types of raw materials used in medicated lozenges may vary according to a number of factors. Most medicated lozenges contain sugar, corn syrup, acidu-lant, colorant, flavor, and the medicament. 

Oral ingestion of fentanyl is the most common way it is used to relieve chronic pain today. This is achieved primarily in a lollipop or lozenge that allows for a slow ingestion into the body. Most of the lollipops and lozenges are cherry flavored for children in cancer wards, this is the preferred method of administration because they seldom view the treats as medication. Rectal administration is sometimes used as well if the patient cannot receive oral medication or if they have a strong nausea reaction to the fentanyl. This method is used only as a last resort, and few patients opt for it. 

The cooling sensation makes menthol a desirable additive to aftershave lotions, skin cleansers, lotions, sore throat lozenges, and lip halms. Menthol is also used in a variety of cosmetics applied to the skin and medications for the relief of itching. It is also added to foods such as chewing gums and candies to impart a mint-like flavor.
