ORABASE PROTECTIVE PASTE - 30G

The paste creates a thick paraffin-ish layer on top of a sore, so it does what one expects it to do.The ingredients are mentioned nowhere (neither on the box, nor on the tube, not sure how this is legal!), but from what I've found for this particular item, it should be: Gelatin 16.7%, Pectin 16.7%, Sodium carboxymethylcellulose 16.7% Polythene 2.5% and liquid paraffin 47.4%Also, be careful as to how much you apply. The applicator is not really helpful, so just manually apply a small pea-size directly on the area.

Thanks

The thing I like about this paste is that you get 30 g for less than the price of 8 g from another well-known brand! That sure is a saver for me as it means I've got the same as 8 tubes of the other variety! That's assuming that this is as strong and potent as the others! Cleverly wrapped with the tubes outside the boxes for the sake of de-clutter and also comes with a separate opening/application device!There's only one problem with this item - the metal tube breaks after a while and the paste runs out it. So you lose some of the value!

This paste worked when nothing else did.I had an ulcer on the side of my tongue for 4 days before it started to heal with orabase.I applied it at night after cleaning my teeth, dried the area of my tongue with the ulcer, applied paste, and in the morning it was visibly starting to improve.It has no flavour, and is quite thick, but certainly works.

I have suffered with mouth ulcers for several years now and they are usually big and painful and last 2 weeks. I used to get adcortyl in orabase in a 5g tube from my doctor which always worked for me but it became discontinued. This seems to be the same stuff, it looks exactly the same anyway but in a much bigger tube. You need to apply it as soon as you get the ulcer as I find if the ulcer is already established then it takes longer to get rid of. Wipe the area dry with some kitchen roll or a cotton bud before you apply it and don't rub it in just sort of smear it on. The ulcer should be gone in just a couple of days.

This paste is really hard to come by in pharmacies. So really happy I can order it here. Using for my son’s cracked hands, helps tremendously

Bought this for my boyfriend as he suffers from mouth ulcers. It works if you can manage to get it to stick to your ulcer. The problem is that it's quite tricky to make it stick, it's difficult to work with in that it crumbles md doesn't adhere. A bit of it will adhere but not enough, and we can't figure out how to make it stick consistently. A pity, as the area it did cover felt relieved--but we literally can't work out what makes it sometimes stick and sometimes not stick! Perhaps it depends on the biochemistry of each person?

Used as a barrier paste before applying tacrolimus for off license use. Worked brilliantly. Tacrolimus absorbed without feeling the side effects.
