Lozenges are one of the most widely used and revolutionary dosages and oral confectionary items in the world. Lozenges have been in use since the 20th century and are still being produced commercially. As a new way of transmitting medications for local action and systemic effect in the oral cavity, Lozenges has a promising future. Lozenges are flavored medicated dosage formulations that are sucked and kept in the mouth or pharynx. They normally contain one or more medicaments inside a sweetened base. The advantages of medicated lozenges are that they improve the retention time within the mouth of the drug type, increasing bioavailability, reducing gastric discomfort, and bypassing the metabolism of the first pass. The acceptance of lozenges as a form of dosage is high for adults and also high for children. Compressed lozenges, hard lozenges & soft lozenges are various types of lozenges available on the market and their preparation methods and ingredients used in their preparation are discussed. The present analysis covers more or less all things relevant to lozenges and also sheds light on lozenge applications. This includes numerous studies undertaken to date, parameters of formulation and evaluation, packaging, and lozenge applications.
