Adcortyl in Orabase

Advantages: Effective at both pain relief and prevention of ulcers
Disadvantages: Unpleasant texture in mouth

...as a full-blown mouth ulcer. Adcortyl is most effective during the preliminary stages of the ulcer, which means that I always ensure that I have a tube with me, whether at home, in a meeting or away on business. The preparation is particularly effective at night, probably because you aren’t talking, eating or drinking, but it still does some good during the day. APPLICATION AND USE The preparation has a gritty, gel-like consistency that closely ...
...affected by inflammation around it. Adcortyl really is a very curious substance, and when you first use it, it takes some practice to apply it properly. Part of the problem is that as soon as it comes into contact with the moistness of your mouth, it tends to solidify very quickly. So you can easily apply it to the wrong area, and find yourself having to put some more on. If you put too much on your finger, you generally find that the wiping action ... Read review

Advantages: you almost forget that you have ulcers!
Disadvantages: sticky paste, sometimes difficult to adhere to gums/mouth

...that I hadn’t tried before, Adcortyl in Orabase. I wasn’t keen to spend my hard earned cash on yet another “miracle cure”, but I thought I would give it a go. The tube is incredibly small (handy for keeping in your purse or handbag, pocket if you’re a guy!), just 5g in weight.

Advantages: It reduces the inflammation
Disadvantages: It is a paste so is gunky in the mouth

...up with this little gem – Adcotyl in Orabase for mouth ulcers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is it? Adcotyl belongs to the steroid medicine group, because it contains the steroid called triamcinolone acetonide. It is designed to reduce the inflammation and well as the pain - so basically speaking this heals. It also contains gelatine, liquid paraffin, pectin, polyethylene resin and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. How is it used? You first need to spike the tube with the end of the cap to break the seal. You put a small amount on a clean, dry finger and smear thinly on the ulcer. It is a paste that you smear, not rub, on the ulcer and it forms a protective seal. It will stick to the wet surfaces of the mouth. The pharmacist explained that it is designed not to dissolve in saliva. It is a paste so feels sticky and tacky in the mouth. You... Read review
