About Steroids - Mouth.

"Steroids - Mouth" is not a formal standalone pharmacological class established by regulatory bodies like the FDA, but rather an administrative or formulary classification encompassing corticosteroids administered into or through the oral cavity.

This category primarily comprises topical or mucosal corticosteroids formulated as dental pastes, oral rinses, or dissolvable preparations, as well as systemic oral formulations.

They function primarily through glucocorticoid receptor agonism to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, diminish capillary permeability, and inhibit lymphocyte activation.

Therapeutically, local mouth formulations provide targeted relief for inflammatory and autoimmune oral conditions such as recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, and mucosal pemphigoid lesions, whereas swallowed oral preparations manage widespread systemic autoimmune, allergic, and respiratory inflammatory disorders.
