What are Buccal drugs?
Buccal drugs are products intended for administration directed toward the cheek, generally from within the mouth. Healthcare teams may also search this route as buccal medications, inside-cheek administration, buccal mucosa drugs, and cheek-administered drugs. This category is most relevant for oral care, dental, and facility medication-use workflows that rely on contact with the buccal mucosa rather than a standard swallowed dose. Common product examples in this catalog include Chlorhexidine Gluconate. When sourcing buccal medications, healthcare teams usually compare NDC, strength or concentration, dosage form, package configuration, and any route-specific storage or handling requirements.
