| Author | Topic: Oracort (triamcionolene acetonide) |
| bk 03-01-2003 01:22 AM | Hello, Is Oracort, in small amounts, considered very harmful? Oracort is used to treat lesions in one's mouth that may otherwise take a long time to heal and be fairly painful (and get infected, etc.). Not a medical necessity as far as I know, more of a convenience. Its active ingredient is triamcinolone acetonide (a corticosteroid; more info at this medsafe site on Oracort). It's in such a small amount (7.5g/tube) that I would be very surprised if it is harmful for short-term use, but I thought I would check. Thanks! |
