Taiho Pharmaceutical Releases Pitas Sore Throat Troche in Japan on October 5
A Sticker-type Troche to be Placed on the Roof of the Mouth That is Helpful in Business Meetings
Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced today that on Thursday, October 5 it has launched throughout Japan the Pitas Sore Throat Troche (designated quasi-drug), a sticker-type troche to be placed on the roof of the mouth. It is effective against sore and swollen throats.
The thin sticker-type formulation makes it possible to take the troche without other people noticing, as it does not get in the way when speaking.
Listening to the voices of office workers who say, “Cough drops and conventional troches are hard to take in business meetings as well as when communicating with customers,” the company developed the troche by improving its usefulness in addition to effectiveness. It is also handy to carry around, as its thin package allows it to fit in a business card case or commuter-pass holder without making it bulky.
Taiho Pharmaceutical will continue to contribute to people’s health and happy lifestyles in Japan.
