Effectiveness

How Triesence Affects PatientsTriamcinolone is a type of steroid that helps reduce inflammation in different parts of the body. It should not be injected into the spine.

How Triesence works in the bodyTriamcinolone stops inflammation by blocking cell molecules from breaking down. This prevents leukocytes from forming arachidonic acid, which stops the production of chemicals that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Triamcinolone also reverses vascular dilation and reduces permeability, which limits the movement of macrophages and leukocytes. Lastly, it prevents nuclear factor kappa-B from creating pro-inflammatory signals like interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.

When to interrupt dosage

The advisable dosage of Triesence is reliant upon the determined condition, for instance Mycosis Fungoides (MF), Mycoses and Alopecia Areata (AA). The measure of dosage fluctuates, per the administration approach (e.g. Ointment or Injection, suspension - Intralesional; Parenteral) presented in the accompanying table.

Triesence for Surgical Vitrectomy Adjunct to Enhance Visualization

This product, as a corticosteroid, has caused my liver enzyme levels to rise. I'm wondering if this is a possible side effect.

Is Triesence a corticosteroid?

"TRIESENCE is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that comes in injectable form. It contains 40 mg/mL of the active ingredient triamcinolone acetonide."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between kenalog and Triesence?

"The conglomerate will reduce the surface area and decrease the dissolution rate, though Triesence is formulated to have a smaller particle size than Kenalog-40. Triesence and Kenalog-40 have a 100% crystallinity, which should not cause the different vitreous dissolution rates observed."

Answered by AI

What is Triesence used for?

"Triesence is a steroid injection used to treat inflammation of the joints or tendons that is caused by arthritis, bursitis, or epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Triesence is usually given for a short period of time to treat a severe or aggravated episode."
