There are two major advantages to this lingual spray Buccal system. One is that we get very rapid blood levels, usually reaching therapeutic blood levels based on the levels of the standard tablet or capsule within three to 10 minutes. The second advantage is that we can use a much lower dose. The first advantage means you can get rapid relief of symptoms. The second advantage means that you can often reduce the side effect profile.
Every drug has side effects and usually, the lower the dose, the lower the side effects.
In some products, both lower dose and reduced dose will be very important. For other compounds, it maybe one or the other, that will be of major importance. In these indications, the patient realizes it is time to take a dose when symptoms appear, for example when you start to sneeze at the start of an allergy attack. The product would shut down their symptoms in a short period of time, probably five to 10 minutes. Because it is such a short time, this means the patient would not have to take medication every day to prevent symptoms.
