The medication is designed to dissolve on the gum, providing direct relief without the need to swallow, making it an ideal choice for those struggling with sickness or unable to take oral medication.
How does Buccastem M Buccal work?
Buccastem M Buccal contains the active ingredient prochlorperazine maleate, a type of antiemetic and antipsychotic. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain that trigger the sensation of nausea and vomiting. By targeting this area, it helps to reduce feelings of sickness and prevents vomiting effectively. The buccal route of administration means the tablet dissolves when placed between the gum and cheek, bypassing the digestive system for faster relief.
Buccastem M Buccal Tablets are placed between the upper gum and cheek, where they dissolve slowly. Allow the tablet to dissolve fully without chewing or swallowing. The typical dosage is one or two tablets twice a day. It’s important to follow your doctor or pharmacist’s instructions for best results. Avoid eating or drinking until the tablet has fully dissolved to ensure maximum absorption.
