Product Description:
Kenalog Triamcinolone (0.1%) Orabase Paste 5g is a topical medication designed to provide relief from tenderness, pain, inflammation, and ulceration within the mouth or on the gums. This versatile paste is especially effective in treating sores resulting from injuries or irritation caused by dentures (false teeth) rubbing against the gums. The key to its efficacy lies in its unique formulation, which ensures that the medication remains in direct contact with the affected area.
