Tess Oral Paste is used to treat painful mouth ulcers.

Uses of Tess Oral Paste are:

• Mouth Ulcers: Reduces the pain and inflammation of mouth ulcers.
• Oral Lichen Planus: Helps manage inflammation of the mouth lining.

• Press a small dab (about 1/4 inch) to the lesion until a thin film develops. A larger quantity may be required for coverage of some lesions.

Tess Oral Paste is meant for oral use only. It is not intended for ophthalmic or dermatological use. 

Tess Oral Paste contains triamcinolone acetonide (0.1%). It is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and narrows blood vessels. It acts by inhibiting the release of arachidonic acid, which causes the production of inflammatory compounds like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Hence this paste helps control inflammation due to oral lesions.
