10mg
ACTIONS:
Naturally ocurring glucocorticoids, which also have salt-retaining
properties, are used as replacement
therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs
are primarily used for their
potent anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify the body's
immune responses to diverse stimuli.
INDICATIONS:
Rheumatic disorders: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, synovitis.
Allergic states: bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic
dermatitis.
Collagen diseases. Dermatologic diseases. Severe acute and chronic
allergic and inflammatory
opthalmic diseases.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Intramuscular administration.
For adults and children over 12 years of age, the suggested initial
dose is 60 mg, injected deeply
into the gluteal muscle. Dosage is usually adjusted within the range
of 40 mg to 80 mg.
For children from 6 to 12 years of age, the suggested initial dose is
40 mg, although dosage
depends more on the severity of symptoms than on age or weight.
For intra-articular or intrabursal administration and for injection
into tendon sheaths may vary
from 2.5 mg to 5 mg for smaller joints, and from 5 mg to 15 mg for
larger joints depending on
the specific disease entity being treated. Single injections into
several joints for multiple locus
involvement, up to a total of 20 mg or more, have been given without
incident.
For intradermal administration, the initial dose of triamcinolone
acetonide will vary depending
upon the specific disease entity being treate
