Turbocort Paste 15gm

Turbocort Paste is used to relieve inflammation, pain, and irritation caused by mouth ulcers, traumatic oral lesions, and ulcerative conditions of the oral cavity. It reduces swelling, discomfort, and redness while promoting quicker healing of sores in the mouth.

Use Turbocort Paste as directed below:

• Ensure that the affected area inside your mouth is clean before application.
• It should be applied as directed by your doctor.
• Do not rub in the paste. Allow it to adhere naturally.
• Apply at bedtime to allow the medicine to work overnight. Depending on your symptoms, you may need to apply it 2-3 times a day, preferably after meals.
• Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes after applying to ensure uninterrupted contact with the affected area.
• If you don't observe significant improvement within seven days, consult your doctor.

Turbocort Paste is applied topically.

Turbocort Paste contains triamcinolone (0.1 %), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Induces Lipocortin Production: Triamcinolone encourages your body to produce proteins known as lipocortins. These proteins play a significant role in controlling inflammation.
• Inhibits Phospholipase A2: Lipocortins block an enzyme called phospholipase A2. This enzyme usually triggers the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes, a process that can lead to inflammation.
• Suppresses Inflammatory Response: By preventing the release of arachidonic acid, triamcinolone effectively suppresses the inflammatory response in your body.

• Store Turbocort Paste at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.
• Keep it in a tightly closed container to avoid exposure to air and moisture.
• Ensure the storage area is out of reach of children.

• Maintain good oral hygiene to help manage oral inflammatory conditions. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse your mouth after meals.
• Avoid spicy, acidic, and hard foods which can irritate oral ulcers or sores. Instead, opt for soft, bland foods till your condition improves.
