KENALOG IN ORABASE vs XENEISOL
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.
XENEISOL is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that potentiates serotonergic activity in the central nervous system by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin at the synaptic cleft.
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 mg orally once daily, titrated to a maximum of 20 mg daily based on response and tolerability.

Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Terminal elimination half-life is 4.5 hours (range 3.5-6 hours) in adults; prolonged to 8-12 hours in hepatic impairment.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
Primarily hepatic metabolism followed by renal excretion of metabolites: 70% renal, 20% biliary/fecal, 10% unchanged in urine.
