or study ended. only agent that has a triple action in the form of preventing recurrences, decreasing healing time and accelerating pain resolution. 2. Topical corticosteroids (TCs) remain the mainstays of treatment. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate pellets (Corlan), 2.5 mg used 4 times daily Triamcinolone acetonide in carboxymethyl cellulose paste (Adcortyl in orabase [withdrawn in some countries], Kenalog), administered 4 times daily Betamethasone sodium phosphate as a 0.5-mg tablet dissolved in 15 mL of water to make a mouth rinse, used 4 times daily for 4 minutes each time 3. 150 mg doxymycine + 1ml of 0.9% NaCl + 1 drop cryo. Topical tetracyclines may reduce the severity of ulceration, but they do not alter the recurrence rate. A doxycycline capsule of 100 mg in 10 mL of water administered as a mouth rinse for 3 minutes or tetracycline 500 mg plus nicotinamide 500 mg administered 4 times daily may provide relief and reduce ulcer duration 4. Topical 50mg penicillin G potassium troches (Cankercillin) applied 4x/day for 4 days 5. levamisole hydrochloride (150 mg) was administered once a week for one month. Levamisole, an antihelminthic drug that can modulate immune responses 6. Colchicine (0.6 mg 3 tid), Prednisone (20-80 mg/d), Azathioprine use (50 mg/d), Montelukast sodium (10 mg/d) has been reported as potentially effective with fewer adverse effects than steroids. 7. Recommend the patient avoid using sodium lauryl sulfate. This agent is a detergent found in most dentifrices, and it disrupts the surface of the epithelium. Although it has not been proven causative in recurrent aphthous ulcers, results are equivocal in whether elimination of the agent prevents episodes of ulceration. Eliminating the agent may reduce pain and healing time during outbreaks. 8. Topical querecitin may be a beneficial adjunct and slightly shorten healing time 9. Nicotine replacement therapy may help ameliorate lesions that have resulted from cessation of a tobacco habit 10.Avoid acidic foods such as citrus fruits, or spicy foods that may aggravate the sore.
