About Gingicort 0.1% Buccal Paste

Gingicort 0.1% Buccal Paste belongs to a group of medications called ‘corticosteroids’ used in the treatment of various inflammatory and allergic disorders. It is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic carditis, hormone problems, ulcerative colitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions. It is also used in the treatment of mouth sores (painful lesions occurring in the lower lip or gums).

Gingicort 0.1% Buccal Paste contains ‘triamcinolone’ which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. 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. It reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. It causes constriction of blood vessels decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury. This effect helps in reducing swelling, pain and discomfort.

Gingicort 0.1% Buccal Paste should be taken as advised by your doctor. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your health condition. Gingicort 0.1% Buccal Paste may cause certain common side effects such as upset stomach, stomach irritation, vomiting, headache, dizziness, insomnia, restlessness, skin rash, vision problems, and weight gain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
