Medicinal Benefits

Orastik Mouth Ulcer Paste contains ‘triamcinolone’, which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It is effectively used to treat various inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases. It controls inflammation by acting on the immune system. It decreases the activity of the immune system by blocking white blood cells (WBC) from attacking the body cells (target cells). It reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. It causes constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels, decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury. This effect helps reduce swelling, pain, and discomfort.
