How Nasacort Hfa Affects Patients

Triamcinolone is a medication used to reduce inflammation in the body. It can be used to treat conditions that affect many organs and tissues. It should not be given as an injection directly into the spine.

How Nasacort Hfa works in the body

Triamcinolone helps reduce inflammation by stopping molecules like leukocytes from entering affected areas of the body. It also limits the production of chemicals like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which can make inflammation worse. Finally, it reduces the activity of nuclear factor kappa-B, which controls the production of inflammatory signals like interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed dosage of Nasacort Hfa is contingent upon the diagnosed affliction, including Mycosis Fungoides (MF), Mycoses and Alopecia Areata (AA). Dosage changes with the administration technique (e.g. Ointment or Injection, suspension - Intralesional; Parenteral) featured in the following table.
