Effectiveness

How Aristospan Affects PatientsTriamcinolone is a type of medication used to reduce inflammation in many parts of the body. It should not be given as an injection into the spine.

How Aristospan works in the bodyTriamcinolone is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. It works by preventing the breakdown of certain cell membranes, stopping the formation of certain fatty acids, and suppressing pro-inflammatory signals. This reduces swelling, redness, and other signs of inflammation.

I've had this medication injected into my knees every three months for nearly a year, and it has really helped to lessen the pain and keep me mobile. I've also had injections in my thumbs for severe arthritis pain, which completely took away the pain for eight months.
