ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system which topically delivers pharmaceuticals to the buccal mucosa. Preferred pharmaceuticals include topical local anesthetics, such as tetracaine, which can be applied to the mucosa for rapid pain relief. The system comprises a hard candy matrix in which the pharmaceutical is dispersed. The hard candy matrix may be formed without the addition of dyes, synthetic flavoring agents, alcohols, or preservatives. Also, the candy may be mounted on a handle to form a lollipop, and the handle may be used to position the candy adjacent a particular site where the pharmaceutical is needed.
