Product Benefits (Specific to Corticosteroid Oral Pastes like Triamcinolone Acetonide):

• Targeted Anti-inflammatory Action: Delivers a corticosteroid directly to the site of inflammation in the mouth, effectively reducing swelling, redness, and discomfort associated with oral ulcers and lesions.

• Pain Relief: By reducing inflammation and forming a protective barrier, it helps alleviate the pain and irritation caused by mouth sores.

• Promotes Healing: Helps create an optimal environment for healing by protecting the ulcerated area from irritation by food, drink, and saliva, while the corticosteroid reduces the inflammatory response.

• Forms Protective Barrier: The paste adheres to the moist oral mucosa, forming a long-lasting protective film that shields the lesion and keeps the medication in contact with the affected area.

• Localized Treatment: Minimizes systemic absorption of the corticosteroid, reducing the risk of systemic side effects compared to oral steroids.

• Convenient 5g Tube: A practical size for targeted application to specific small areas within the mouth.

• Effective for Various Conditions: Primarily used for:

  • Aphthous ulcers (canker sores)

  • Oral lichen planus

  • Other inflammatory or ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa.

CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS:

• PRESCRIPTION/OTC: Depending on the country and specific formulation, this might be prescription-only or an OTC product. Always check.

• Consult a Professional: Always consult a doctor or dentist before using this product, especially if the ulcers are persistent, recurrent, unusually large, or if you suspect an infection. Not for viral (e.g., herpes) or fungal infections.

• Follow Instructions Strictly: Read and follow all instructions on the product label and from your healthcare provider precisely for application technique, frequency, and duration of use.

• Do Not Rub In: Typically, oral pastes should be dabbed onto the lesion without rubbing, allowing them to form a protective layer.

• Wash Hands: Always wash your hands before and after application.

• Potential Side Effects: Local side effects may include temporary stinging or a change in taste. Prolonged use or overuse can lead to fungal infections (oral thrush).

• Not for Swallowing: While designed for oral use, it's meant to adhere to the lesion, not be swallowed directly in large amounts.

• Storage: Store according to package instructions.
