This is a quick post about triamcinolone acetonide, which I think is the best drug to get rid of mouth ulcers. I have posted much information already on the blog about this drug, including these two more detailed posts:

However in a nutshell Triamcinolone Acetonide is as far as I know the most effective SHORT TERM treatment for mouth ulcers (canker sores).

In my experience it will halve the time it takes to get rid of them. It is a drug aimed at curing and protecting the ulcer. It offers a small amount of pain relief, but mainly thats is through protection of the ulcer rather than the drug itself.

The drug is known in the UK as Adcortyl in Orabase. Orabase is the sticky substance it is delivered in and can be purchased on it’s own without the active ingredient, if you so desire. Adcortyl is the brand name for the active ingredient Triamcinolone Acetonide. It is also known as Kenalog in other countries.

I am a person who generally doesn’t like to use chemicals to solve problems (I avoid painkillers and the like) however this is far more effective than any other treatment I know. However it won’t help in prevention, it is a cure for mouth ulcers but it won’t stop them coming back.

Information on purchasing Kenalog in Orabase can be found here.
