Taking the leap into a new health journey with GobyMeds to restore vitality with Sermorelin is an exciting move toward a healthier you. If you've chosen a needle-free route using a troche, this article breaks down the step-by-step process to ensure you take your medication correctly.
Troches (pronounced trō-key) are medicated lozenges that easily dissolve in the mouth. Troches are placed in the mouth under the tongue (also referred to as sublingual). This allows medication to enter the bloodstream directly from the mouth, which allows for quicker absorption while bypassing metabolism by the liver.
Step 1: Avoid eating and drinking for at least 15 minutes before taking your medication. Check the directions on your prescription label to confirm placement.
Pro Tip: Having a hot drink prior to administration can speed up the dissolving time but should be consumed at least 15 minutes prior to taking the medication.
Step 2: Place the troche under your tongue and leave in place until it dissolves completely, approximately 15-30 minutes. Do not swallow or chew the troche before it dissolves.
Pro Tip: It is important not to eat, drink, or go to sleep with a troche in your mouth as this will hinder absorption, preventing the medication from working properly.
Step 3: Avoid food, drink, or swallowing saliva for a further 15 minutes after taking the medication, to ensure maximum absorption.
Why the Right Technique Matters
Consistency is the heartbeat of metabolic health and following the correct protocol ensures you get the full benefit of the science behind the medicine.
