What Experts Say

Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and calms an overactive immune response. Its poor solubility creates a depot effect, so the medicine is released slowly over weeks after injection.

When injected into a joint, relief often starts within days and can last from three to six weeks. Doctors limit how often the same joint is injected, since repeated doses can weaken cartilage and tendons. Doctors also use it for conditions such as alopecia areata and keloids, where small amounts are injected into the skin. Relief can take several days to appear, and it may not last as long in every patient.

Because it is a steroid, it can raise blood sugar and, with frequent use, suppress the body's own steroid production. The injection should only be given with sterile technique by a trained clinician. It is not meant for self administration. People with diabetes may see higher sugar readings for a few days after the injection. Any fever, redness or increasing pain at the site needs prompt medical review.

Drug Interactions

• Live vaccines: These should be avoided during steroid treatment because of a weakened immune response.
• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and aspirin: Together with steroids they raise the chance of stomach ulcers and bleeding.
• Diabetes medicines: Steroids raise blood sugar, so doses of insulin or tablets may need adjusting.
• Ritonavir and itraconazole: These can raise steroid levels in the body and increase side effects.

Risks and warnings

• Infection: It should not be given near an infected area or in untreated infections, as steroids weaken defenses.
• Blood sugar: It can raise blood sugar, so people with diabetes need closer monitoring.
• Repeated injections: Frequent use can thin the skin, damage joint tissue and suppress natural cortisol.
• Pregnancy and children: Use only when a doctor judges the benefit outweighs the risk.
