Safely Buy Kenalog Paste ( Triamcinolone Acetonide Paste ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Kenalog paste, also known as Kenalog in Orabase, is a medication used for the temporary relief of symptoms from mouth sores due to injury.

Kenalog paste is a dental paste that contains the active ingredient triamcinolone acetonide, which is a corticosteroid.

The paste acts as an adhesive vehicle for applying the medication to the oral tissues and provides a protective barrier.

Kenalog paste is typically applied as a thin film to cover the affected area before bedtime, and the application frequency may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Use and Dosage

Do not apply this medication to the eyes or on the skin. It is to be used only inside the mouth.

Dab or press (do not rub) a small amount of paste onto the area to be treated until the paste sticks and a smooth, slippery film develops. A cotton swab may be used to apply the paste. Do not attempt to spread or rub the paste in. This will only cause it to become crumbly, grainy, or gritty.

Apply to the affected area as directed by your doctor or dentist, usually 2 to 3 times daily after meals or at bedtime.

The treated area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped unless your doctor or dentist directs you to do so.

Mouth infections may worsen while you are using this medication. Tell your doctor or dentist if your condition lasts or gets worse after 7 to 14 days of treatment.

FAQ

What happens if I miss a dose?

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your injection.

What happens if I overdose?

Since triamcinolone is given by a healthcare professional in a medical setting, an overdose is unlikely to occur.

What should I avoid while receiving triamcinolone intravitreal?

Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chickenpox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroid medicine.

Do not receive a smallpox vaccine or any other “live” vaccine while using triamcinolone. The vaccine may not work as well and may not fully protect you from disease.
