A pharmaceutical company, based in Ahmedabad in India – Troikaa Pharmaceuticals – has launched Xynova Endo, a Lidocaine lozenge for customised endoscopy procedures in patients.
The press release was where the company said that this unique product is useful for anaesthetising a patient’s oral cavity or mouth during endoscopic procedures.
This new lollipop-like drug is an intra-oral anesthetic dosage form comprising a Lidocaine lozenge mounted on a unique holder.
The patient is able to suck the lozenge gradually by rolling it in the mouth, with the help of the holder. The product is completely soluble, leaves no undissolved residue and provides a clear field of vision.
A paramedic can initiate dosing 10 minutes prior to the procedure, leading to time saving by the doctor.
