What is Kanolone Oral Paste (Triamcinolone Acetonide)?
Kanolone Oral Paste contains Triamcinolone Acetonide (Triamcinolone Acetonide) 0.1% in an Orabase adhesive vehicle specifically formulated for intraoral use — not for skin application. Triamcinolone Acetonide is a synthetic topical corticosteroid that exerts potent localised anti-inflammatory activity to relieve the pain and accelerate healing of mouth ulcers.
Kanolone Oral Paste is indicated for aphthous stomatitis (canker sores / mouth ulcers), oral lichen planus, and recurrent painful oral mucosal lesions. The Orabase vehicle adheres to the oral mucosa, forming a protective film over ulcers while delivering sustained Triamcinolone Acetonide release to reduce local inflammation.
Manufactured by Pharmadica (SiamMedicare). Available in a 5g tube. Store at or below 30°C. Kanolone Oral Paste is for intraoral use only — not for general skin conditions.
About Kanolone Oral Paste
What is Kanolone Oral Paste?
Kanolone Oral Paste contains Triamcinolone Acetonide (Triamcinolone Acetonide) 0.1% in an Orabase adhesive vehicle — formulated specifically for the oral mucosa, not for skin use.
How Kanolone works:
- Anti-inflammatory action: Inhibits phospholipase A2 and suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines, providing targeted pain relief at the ulcer site
- Orabase adhesive vehicle: Forms a protective film over the ulcer surface, shielding it from food and saliva friction while prolonging Triamcinolone Acetonide contact time
Manufactured by Pharmadica (SiamMedicare), Kanolone Oral Paste is widely used for mouth ulcer management in Thailand.
What does Kanolone Oral Paste treat?
Kanolone Oral Paste (Triamcinolone Acetonide mouth ulcer paste) is indicated for:
- Aphthous stomatitis (mouth ulcers / canker sores): Recurrent, painful oral ulcers — the primary indication for Kanolone Oral Paste
- Oral lichen planus: Chronic inflammatory condition of the oral mucosa causing pain and sensitivity
- Traumatic oral ulcers: Minor wounds from dental appliances, braces, or accidental biting
Important: Kanolone Oral Paste is for intraoral use only — not for general skin application. If uncertain whether the oral lesion is appropriate for Kanolone Oral Paste, have a dentist or doctor evaluate it first — some oral lesions require different treatment approaches.
How to use Kanolone Oral Paste / Dosage
How to apply Kanolone Oral Paste correctly:
- Pat the ulcer area dry with cotton or tissue to remove saliva before applying
- Apply a small amount using a fingertip or cotton swab — press gently onto the ulcer without rubbing
- Apply 2-3 times daily: after meals and at bedtime
- Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after application to allow the paste to adhere and work effectively
Dosage: Use the smallest amount necessary to cover the ulcer. The Orabase vehicle does not require a thick layer for effective adhesion.
Side effects of Kanolone Oral Paste
Possible side effects of Kanolone Oral Paste:
- Numbness or roughness at the application site: Caused by Orabase adhesion to the mucosa — normal, not an allergic reaction
- Temporary taste alteration: Felt immediately after application; resolves quickly
- Oral candidiasis (thrush): May occur with prolonged or extensive use — watch for white patches in the mouth
- Systemic absorption: Minimal at recommended doses for short-term use
If the ulcer does not improve within 2 weeks, or if it spreads or worsens, consult a doctor.
Contraindications / Precautions for Kanolone Oral Paste
Contraindications:
- Hypersensitivity to Triamcinolone Acetonide or any Orabase excipient
- Untreated bacterial or fungal infection in the oral cavity
- Suspicious ulcers potentially indicating malignancy — see a doctor first
Precautions:
- Children under 12: Consult a doctor — higher risk of accidental ingestion
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Use minimum necessary amount; consult a healthcare provider
- Prolonged use: Do not exceed 2 weeks of continuous use without medical evaluation
Can Kanolone Oral Paste be used with other medications?
Kanolone Oral Paste has very few clinically significant drug interactions, given the minimal systemic absorption from topical oral use.
What to avoid:
- Antiviral medications for herpes (Acyclovir, Valacyclovir) — No direct drug interaction, but do not use Kanolone on herpetic lesions concurrently, as corticosteroids can promote viral spread
- Systemic (oral/injectable) corticosteroids: Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are already using systemic steroids before adding topical steroids to the mouth
Generally safe to combine:
- Pain relievers such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol — no interaction
- Chlorhexidine mouthwash — if using, rinse before applying Kanolone and wait for the mouth to be slightly dry for better paste adhesion to mouth ulcers
- Vitamin B12 lozenges or supplements for canker sore prevention — compatible with Kanolone use
How quickly does Kanolone Oral Paste work?
Expected timeline for Kanolone Oral Paste on mouth ulcers:
- Day 1 (24-48 hours): Noticeable pain reduction as Triamcinolone Acetonide reduces local inflammation
- Days 3-5: Ulcer begins to shrink; white appearance starts to fade
- Days 7-14: Most aphthous ulcers heal completely
Tip: Begin applying Kanolone Oral Paste at the earliest sign of a developing ulcer (prodromal stage) to reduce both pain duration and final ulcer size. Early application at the prodromal stage — before the ulcer fully develops — significantly reduces both the duration of pain and the final ulcer size. This is the key tip for patients who experience frequent recurrent aphthous ulcers.
Kanolone Oral Paste vs. other topical treatments for mouth ulcers
Kanolone Oral Paste (Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1%) stands out for its Orabase vehicle, which provides superior mucosal adhesion compared to other topical forms for mouth ulcers:
- Kanolone (Orabase paste): Excellent adhesion, sustained drug release — ideal for difficult-to-reach ulcers such as under the tongue or inner cheek
- Generic Triamcinolone cream/ointment: Not formulated for oral use — should not be substituted for Orabase paste
- Betamethasone oral rinse: Better suited for widespread oral lichen planus but less site-specific than paste
- Hydrocortisone pellets: Convenient dissolution but lower potency than Triamcinolone Acetonide in Kanolone

Frequently Asked Questions
Mouth ulcers (aphthous stomatitis) appear inside the mouth, are non-contagious, and are inflammatory — Kanolone Oral Paste is appropriate. Oral herpes (HSV-1) typically appears on the outer lip, is contagious, and requires antiviral medication, not a corticosteroid like Kanolone.
Completely normal. The slight roughness or stiffness is from the Orabase adhesive vehicle bonding to the oral mucosa — this is the mechanism that allows Kanolone to work continuously. It is not an allergic reaction.
Kanolone Oral Paste is designed for accessible intraoral surfaces — inner lips, gums, cheeks, and tongue. For ulcers on the deep throat or tonsils, see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
No significant risk. Small amounts of saliva mixed with Kanolone during normal application and swallowed are not harmful. However, avoid directly swallowing the paste and do not apply larger amounts than recommended.
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis has multiple contributing factors: stress, sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, or folate, intraoral trauma, and certain trigger foods. Kanolone Oral Paste treats symptoms effectively — addressing root causes reduces recurrence frequency.
Consult a doctor or dentist first. Young children are at higher risk of accidentally swallowing Kanolone Oral Paste, which could increase systemic Triamcinolone Acetonide absorption. Medical supervision is generally recommended for children under 12.
Mild initial stinging is normal due to the inflamed ulcer surface. If the burning is severe or unusual swelling occurs, rinse the mouth with clean water, discontinue use, and consult a doctor to rule out hypersensitivity to any Kanolone Oral Paste component.
Not recommended for preventive use. Kanolone Oral Paste is a treatment — not a preventive agent. Continuous unnecessary corticosteroid application in the oral cavity may increase the risk of oral candidiasis.
Kanolone Oral Paste (Triamcinolone Acetonide) exerts anti-inflammatory action that promotes actual ulcer healing. Benzocaine gels provide temporary pain relief through local anaesthesia without treating the underlying inflammation. For both rapid relief and healing, both agents may sometimes be recommended by a doctor.
Slight whitening after Kanolone application is normal — the Orabase film covering the ulcer creates this visual effect. If the ulcer genuinely enlarges, becomes more painful, or does not improve within 2 weeks, see a doctor to exclude other causes.
