Pregnancy interaction:
When taken in modest amounts in the mouth, topical corticosteroids like triamcinolone are usually thought to be safe during pregnancy.
Don't use it for long periods of time during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to.

Expert advice:
Clean the affected area before applying.
Put a small layer directly on the ulcer two to four times a day, or as directed.
Don't eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after applying.
Before and after application, wash your hands.
Do not use it for longer than the doctor recommends. Using it for too long can make the oral mucosa thinner.
If you have diabetes, immune system problems, or oral infections, tell your doctor.
Side Effects:

Oral thrush, or too much fungus in the mouth, happens when you use it for a long time.
extremely little systemic effects (extremely improbable at acceptable doses):

How to use:
