Turbocort Paste is primarily used to manage symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions and ulcerative lesions of the mouth, resulting from injury or irritation. This medicine belongs to the category known as corticosteroids.

In addition to managing inflammation and ulcers, this is also employed to provide temporary relief from discomfort caused by these conditions. By forming a protective film over the affected areas inside your mouth, it aids in healing.

You should apply this medicine as directed by your doctor. Remember to inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions before starting with this. If you notice any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. To achieve optimal results, continue using the paste for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor.

Turbocort Paste is used for managing the following conditions:

Relief from symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions of the mouth
Alleviating discomfort due to ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity
Management of oral lesions caused by physical trauma or injury
Assisting in the healing process of mouth sores and ulcers
Reduction of inflammation in the oral mucosa

Directions for Use of Turbocort Paste 15gm

Use Turbocort Paste as directed below:

Ensure that the affected area inside your mouth is clean before application.
It should be applied as directed by your doctor.
Do not rub in the paste. Allow it to adhere naturally.
Apply at bedtime to allow the medicine to work overnight. Depending on your symptoms, you may need to apply it 2-3 times a day, preferably after meals.
Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes after applying to ensure uninterrupted contact with the affected area.
If you don't observe significant improvement within seven days, consult your doctor.

Turbocort Paste is applied topically.

When using Turbocort Paste, you may experience:

Burning sensation
Itching
Irritation
Dryness
Redness of the treated area
Blistering
Peeling: This refers to the loss of the outer layer of the skin or mucosa.
Allergic contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction causing red, itchy skin.
Maceration of the oral mucosa: This is a softening and whitening of the skin in the mouth due to prolonged exposure to moisture.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Turbocort Paste. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here's how you can manage common side effects:

Burning sensation: Try applying Turbocort Paste right after meals when your mouth is less sensitive.
Irritation: If irritation becomes a problem, consider applying the paste at night before going to sleep.

Turbocort Paste contains triamcinolone (0.1 %), which acts on your body in the following ways:

Induces Lipocortin Production: Triamcinolone encourages your body to produce proteins known as lipocortins. These proteins play a significant role in controlling inflammation.
Inhibits Phospholipase A2: Lipocortins block an enzyme called phospholipase A2. This enzyme usually triggers the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes, a process that can lead to inflammation.
Suppresses Inflammatory Response: By preventing the release of arachidonic acid, triamcinolone effectively suppresses the inflammatory response in your body.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, caution is advised when using Turbocort Paste. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding women should use Turbocort Paste only if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the baby. Consult your doctor for further guidance.

Alcohol

The interaction of Turbocort Paste with alcohol is not known. Consult your doctor for advice.

Liver

For those with liver conditions, it is advisable to discuss with your doctor before starting on Turbocort Paste.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, caution is advised before using Turbocort Paste. Consult your doctor for advice.

Using Machines & Driving

There's no known effect of Turbocort Paste on the ability to drive or operate machinery. However, always be sure you are safe to perform such activities.

Allergy

Do not use Turbocort Paste if you have a known allergy to triamcinolone or any other components in the paste. If you experience any allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.

Children

The safety and efficacy of Turbocort Paste have not been established in children. Caution is advised while giving this medication to children below 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Turbocort Paste under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. It is also important because older patients might have liver and kidney issues and might be on other medications. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Turbocort Paste interacts with the following medicines:

Corticosteroids: If you're using other corticosteroid medications, either topically or systemically, such as betamethasone or hydrocortisone, they might interact with Turbocort Paste. This could increase your risk of experiencing side effects due to increased systemic absorption.
Anistreplase: This medication can decrease the efficacy when used in combination with Triamcinolone.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Turbocort Paste. You can continue your normal diet unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Fungal: If you have an active fungal in your mouth or throat that's not being treated, using Turbocort Paste could make it worse as corticosteroids can suppress the immune response.
Gastrointestinal Ulcerations: If you have known or suspected gastrointestinal ulcerations, caution should be exercised when using Turbocort Paste. This is because the paste may potentially exacerbate these conditions.
Allergies: If you're allergic to triamcinolone acetonide or any other corticosteroids, using Turbocort Paste might trigger an allergic reaction. Therefore, it's essential to let your doctor know about any such allergies before starting this medication.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Turbocort Paste should be applied as directed by your doctor, who will consider factors such as your symptoms and how you respond to the medicine.

Over Dose

Applying more Turbocort Paste than prescribed could lead to increased localised skin redness or itching. If these symptoms persist after an accidental overdose, please consult your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Turbocort Paste, do so as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and resume normal use.

Store Turbocort Paste at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.
Keep it in a tightly closed container to avoid exposure to air and moisture.
Ensure the storage area is out of reach of children.

Maintain good oral hygiene to help manage oral inflammatory conditions. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse your mouth after meals.
Avoid spicy, acidic, and hard foods which can irritate oral ulcers or sores. Instead, opt for soft, bland foods till your condition improves.
