The troche is designed as a square-shaped solid dosage form that dissolves slowly in the mouth, allowing for the medication to be absorbed through the oral mucosa for targeted local or systemic effects.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Chlorhexidine Gluconate 1.8%/Fluoride 0.25 mg Troche is a specially compounded medication that combines the antimicrobial properties of chlorhexidine gluconate with the tooth-strengthening benefits of fluoride. This unique formulation is designed to treat a variety of oral health conditions, providing both local and systemic effects.

Chlorhexidine gluconate, one of the active ingredients in this medication, is a potent antiseptic known for its broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It works by disrupting the cell walls of these microorganisms, effectively killing them and preventing their growth.

The other active ingredient, fluoride, is a mineral that is essential for dental health. It works by strengthening the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to decay. This helps to prevent cavities and maintain overall oral health.

When used as a troche, this medication is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. This allows for the gradual release of the active ingredients, which are then absorbed through the oral mucosa. This method of administration ensures that the medication is delivered directly to the site of action, providing targeted treatment for conditions such as periodontal disease, gingivitis, and dental caries. It can also be used to treat oral thrush and other fungal infections.

If you have any questions about this medication or its use, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of experienced pharmacists is always here to help.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
