Triamcinolone Acetonide Injectable Suspension is a corticosteroid injection indicated for dogs, cats, and horses to manage inflammation and pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, skin disorders, and immune-mediated diseases. It works by reducing inflammation and providing symptomatic relief. Includes a 10 mL multi-dose vial of steroid injection for pets.How it Works

Triamcinolone decreases inflammation by acting within cells to prevent the release of certain chemicals that are important in the immune system. These chemicals are normally involved in producing immune and allergic responses. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in a particular area, inflammation is reduced. This can help control a wide number of disease states characterized by excessive inflammation. These include inflammation of the lungs in asthma and inflammation of the joints in arthritis.

Special Precautions

Keep away from children and animals. Triamcinolone should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug. Triamcinolone should be avoided in cases of viral and fungal infections and it should not be used before surgical procedures as it can delay wound healing. Triamcinolone should also be avoided in nursing mothers. It can be eliminated in the milk and may delay the growth of nursing litters. Triamcinolone may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with triamcinolone. Such drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and other steroids.
