Is Episil Prescribed For Squamous Cell Carcinoma Safe To Use On A Patient Who Cannot Tolerate Steroids?

Hello: I have had 3 surgeries on and under my tongue for squamous Ca. My tongue and area under is so painful I can eat only gravy and other liquid foods. I was given a sample of EPISIL. What is it, is it safe to be used by someone who cannot tolerate any kind of steroids. Thank you very much. Mary Greer YYYY@YYYY

Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Episil is fast acting liquid based formula. It is very useful in mucositis and oral pain shile treatment on oral cancer. It act by mechanical action and just form a protective adhesive layer. So no any steroids are there in episil and it is very safe.
