Kenalog (Triamcinolone Acetonide) work

Kenalog (Triamcinolone Acetonide) in Orobase contains triamcinalone a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid, similar to the naturally occurring cortisol and its metabolite hydrocortisone, with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-pruritic (reduces itching) properties. Corticosteroids are hormones that are naturally produced by the adrenal glands and are involved in regulation of many functions including control of inflammatory and immune responses. Triamcinalone in Kenalog inhibits the production of inflammatory chemicals, like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, from inflammatory cells at specific sites such as a mouth ulcer. This reduces the swelling, redness and pain associated with inflammation. The dental paste that supports triamcinalone in Kenalog in Orobase helps keep the medication at the affected site so that it can be absorbed into the inflamed tissue without being washed away and at the same time protects the ulcer or lesion while it heals.
