Kenalog ® in Orabase ® triamcinolone acetonide 1 mg/g in emollient dental paste For the treatment of mouth ulcers Kenalog in Orabase is used for relieving tenderness, pain, inflammation and ulceration of the inside of the mouth or the gums. The sticky paste keeps the medicine on the sore area and protects it while the medicine relieves the soreness, reduces the swelling and accelerates the healing process. Directions for use: • Press a small dab (about the size of a five cent coin) onto the sore area in your mouth, allowing a thin film to develop on the ulcer. You may need to use a little more if the sore is large. • Ensure the sore area is covered completely, as coating the ulcer protects the area so the healing can begin. If applied correctly, a smooth, slippery film should develop. • Do not rub in or attempt to spread the paste as it might cause a gritty sensation in the mouth and cause the paste to crumble. • Apply the paste as often as recommended by your healthcare professional. • The paste is best applied after meals and at bedtime to allow the medication to work effectively. • If symptoms persist for longer than 5 days, please consult your doctor, pharmacist or dentist. For more information on Kenalog in Orabase, please refer to the Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) available from www.aspenpharma.com.au or speak with your healthcare professional. Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your doctor/healthcare professional. Your pharmacists’ advice is required.
