Common oral programs
Invyncible programs that may use oral troches or oral medication formats include:
How oral troches are commonly taken
Some troches are designed to dissolve in the mouth rather than be swallowed whole. Follow the directions provided with your prescription.
Quick reference
These general reminders apply to many oral medications. Your prescription label and provider instructions come first.
Wash your hands
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling your medication.
Review your prescription directions
Confirm the medication name, dose, route, frequency, and any timing instructions before taking your medication.
Remove the medication carefully
Remove the troche, tablet, capsule, or other oral medication from its packaging without crushing or damaging it.
Take or place the medication as directed
If your medication is a troche, place it under the tongue or between the cheek and gum only if directed. If your medication is intended to be swallowed, take it as instructed on your prescription label.
Allow troches to dissolve if instructed
If using a troche, allow it to dissolve naturally. Do not chew or swallow it whole unless your prescription instructions specifically direct you to do so.
Follow eating and drinking guidance
Follow your prescription or provider instructions about eating or drinking around the time you take your medication.
Store medication properly
Store your medication according to the label. Keep it away from heat, moisture, direct sunlight, children, and pets unless otherwise instructed.
Monitor and contact support if needed
Contact patient support or your provider if you have questions about your dose, timing, storage, side effects, or how to take your medication.
