Triamcinolone is a glucocorticoid used to treat certain skin diseases, allergies, and rheumatic disorders among others.[6] It is also used to prevent worsening of asthma and COPD.[6] It can be taken in various ways including by mouth, injection into a muscle, and inhalation.[6]
Common side effects with long-term use include osteoporosis, cataracts, thrush, and muscle weakness.[6] Serious side effects may include psychosis, increased risk of infections, adrenal suppression, and bronchospasm.[6] Use in pregnancy is generally safe.[7] It works by decreasing inflammation and immune system activity.[6]
Triamcinolone was patented in 1956 and came into medical use in 1958.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[9] In 2021, it was the 104th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6million prescriptions.[10][11]
