[|Human|] 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
[|AI|]  Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Epistle is fast acting liquid based formula.  It is very useful in mucositis and oral pain while treatment on oral cancer.  It acts by mechanical action and just form a protective adhesive layer.  So no any steroids are there in epistle, and it is very safe. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
