Kenacort Oromucosal Paste

Product Overview

Kenacort Oromucosal Paste is a medication containing the active ingredient Triamcinolone 0.1%. It is a corticosteroid used for treating inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat. The paste formulation allows for easy application directly to the affected areas, providing targeted relief from pain and inflammation.

Uses

Kenacort Oromucosal Paste is commonly prescribed to treat various inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat, including mouth ulcers, canker sores, and oral lichen planus. It works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain associated with these conditions, promoting healing and relieving discomfort.

How to Use

Before applying Kenacort Oromucosal Paste, ensure that the affected area is clean and dry. Squeeze a small amount of paste onto a clean finger and apply it directly to the affected area, gently spreading a thin layer over the surface. Avoid swallowing the paste and refrain from eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the medication to take effect.

How it Works

Kenacort Oromucosal Paste contains Triamcinolone, a synthetic corticosteroid that acts by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances in the body. By reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response, Triamcinolone helps alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness associated with inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat.

The dosage and duration of treatment with Kenacort Oromucosal Paste may vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated and the individual patient’s response to therapy. It is typically applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Use the smallest amount of paste necessary to cover the affected area, and avoid prolonged use to minimize the risk of side effects.

With regular use, Kenacort Oromucosal Paste can help alleviate symptoms and promote healing, restoring comfort and function to the mouth and throat.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Kenacort Oromucosal Paste may include burning or stinging sensation at the application site, dryness or peeling of the skin, and changes in taste sensation. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own with continued use of the medication. If side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use of the paste and consult a healthcare professional.
