Kenalog in Orabase is a brand name medication that consists of triamcinolone acetonide, which is a type of corticosteroid, combined with Orabase, a protective gel-like substance used to treat mouth ulcers and other oral lesions.
It?s essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the medication label carefully when using Kenalog in Orabase. Typically, a thin layer of the medication is applied to the affected area in the mouth, usually two to three times a day or as directed by your doctor.
It?s important to note that while Kenalog in Orabase can provide relief from mouth ulcers, it?s not intended for long-term use or for the treatment of all types of oral lesions. If you experience severe or persistent mouth ulcers, or if you have any concerns about your oral health, it?s best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, prolonged use of corticosteroids in the mouth can lead to side effects such as thinning of the oral tissues or fungal infections, so it?s essential to use this medication only as directed.
