What is Triamcinolone?
Triamcinolone is used as an alternative treatment for adrenal insufficiency. It is also used in the symptomatic treatment of inflammatory and allergic disorders and to suppress the immune system. Triamcinolone is also effective in congenital adrenal hyperplasia of cerebral edema and rheumatic diseases.
Mechanism of action of Triamcinolone
The drug binds to its receptors in the cytoplasm by passing through the cell membrane, and the drug-receptor complex enters the cell nucleus. By binding to specific regions of DNA, this complex stimulates the mRNA transcription process, followed by the production of enzymes that are ultimately responsible for the systemic effects of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids exert their anti-inflammatory effects by preventing the accumulation of inflammatory cells in the area of inflammation, inhibiting phagocytosis and the release of enzymes responsible for inflammation, and inhibiting the production and release of chemical mediators of inflammation.
Pharmacokinetics of Triamcinolone
The injectable form of triamcinolone is well absorbed from muscle. The half-life of the drug is about 2-3 hours. It is converted to inactive metabolites mainly in the liver and to some extent in the kidneys and tissues. Due to the presence of flora in the structure of triamcinolone, its metabolism is slow. Inactive metabolites of this drug are excreted by the kidneys.
Contraindications to the use of Triamcinolone
It is contraindicated in the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in the presence of amniotic fluid, infection or fever, herpes type 2 infection, placental insufficiency or premature rupture of the membrane.

Precautions Triamcinolone
1. The dosage of the drug should be determined exactly by the doctor.
2. Long-term use of the drug in children can lead to growth retardation.
3. It is not recommended during breastfeeding due to its intake into milk, especially when consuming large amounts.
4. Following the use of this drug, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function tests may be impaired.
5. The amount of medication used in children should be determined on the basis of milligrams of medication per child’s body surface area.
6. Larger amounts of triamcinolone are more likely to cause proximal occlusion, so it is best to avoid chronic treatments with these drugs.
Triamcinolone Medication Recommendations
1. Avoid abrupt discontinuation of the drug after prolonged use (more than 3 weeks).
2. During treatment, sodium intake should be limited and potassium supplements are recommended.
3. Ophthalmological examinations should be performed regularly during long-term treatment.
