KENALOG IN ORABASE vs SERVISONE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, suppress immune response, and inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
SERVISONE is a corticosteroid that exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene transcription, and inhibiting phospholipase A2, thereby reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-4 times daily, after meals and at bedtime. Do not rub in; allow to form a film.
10-20 mg orally once daily in the morning; higher doses up to 40 mg daily for severe cases.

Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Terminal elimination half-life is 3-4 hours. Clinically, this supports twice-daily dosing for sustained effect.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
Renal (70-80% as metabolites, 5-10% unchanged); fecal/biliary (15-20%)
