Tosti Oral Gel
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Tosti Oral Gel is a corticosteroid medication used to provide temporary relief from oral inflammatory lesions and ulcerative lesions resulting from trauma. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response in the affected area, which helps decrease swelling, pain, and redness.
Before applying Tosti Oral Gel, clean and dry the affected area in your mouth. Then, apply a small amount of the paste to the lesion by gently pressing it in without rubbing. The paste should be used at bedtime or after meals for the best results. This will help the medication to stick to the lesion longer. Avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes after application to ensure it stays in place.
Common side effects may include a mild irritation, stinging, or burning sensation at the application site. These are usually temporary and should go away as your body adjusts to the treatment. If these symptoms persist or worsen, or if you notice signs of an allergic reaction (such as severe itching or swelling), discontinue use and consult your doctor. To minimize side effects, only use the recommended amount and avoid applying the paste too frequently.
Do not use Tosti Oral Gel if you have a fungal, bacterial, or viral infection in the mouth, as corticosteroids can worsen these conditions. Inform your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, as corticosteroids may increase blood sugar levels. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
