MEDICATION (VET): ... Triamcinolone acetonide /is/ effective /in the treatment of acute traumatic synovitis and capsulitis in horses/ with no deleterious side effects.
Kahn, C.M. (Ed.); The Merck Veterinary Manual 9th ed. Merck & Co. Whitehouse Station, NJ. 2005, p. 861
... Triamcinolone /is/ indicated as primary maintenance treatment in patients with persistent symptoms of chronic bronchial asthma. Treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is indicated in asthmatic patients whose conditions require anti-inflammatory treatment and in patients dependent on oral corticosteroids who may benefit from a gradual withdrawal from oral corticosteroids to decrease the likelihood of side effects. Regular, continuous use of inhaled corticosteroids controls chronic airway inflammation, decreases airway hyperresponsiveness, prevents asthma symptoms, reduces the frequency of asthma exacerbations, and reduces hospital admissions for asthma. Clinical studies have also reported that regular use with inhaled corticosteroids is associated with decreased mortality. Inhaled corticosteroids are effective in all types of asthma and in patients of all ages. /Included in US product labeling/

Triamcinolone shares the actions of the other topical corticosteroids and is used for the relief of the inflammatory manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. The drug is also used as a paste for adjunctive treatment to provide temporary relief of symptoms associated with oral inflammatory or ulcerative lesions resulting from trauma.

Triamcinolone acetonide oral inhalation therapy should not be used in the treatment of nonasthmatic bronchitis. Orally inhaled triamcinolone acetonide should not be used for the primary treatment of severe acute asthmatic attacks or status asthmaticus when intensive measures (e.g., oxygen, parenteral bronchodilators, IV corticosteroids) are required. Triamcinolone acetonide oral inhaler is not a bronchodilator, and patients should be warned that the drug should not be used for rapid relief of bronchospasm. /Triamcinolone acetonide/
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3058
Patients who are taking immunosuppressant drugs have increased susceptibility to infections compared with healthy individuals, and certain infections (e.g., varicella [chickenpox], measles) can have a more serious or even fatal outcome in such patients, particularly in children. In patients who have not had these diseases or been properly immunized, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. If exposure to varicella or measles occurs in such individuals, administration of varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) or immune globulin, respectively, may be indicated. If varicella develops, treatment with an antiviral agent may be considered.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 2835
Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids for prolonged periods and are being switched to treatment with intranasal triamcinolone acetonide should be carefully monitored, since corticosteroid withdrawal symptoms (e.g., joint pain, muscular pain, lassitude, depression), acute adrenal insufficiency, or severe symptomatic exacerbation of asthma or other clinical conditions may occur. Systemic corticosteroid dosage should be tapered, and patients should be carefully monitored during dosage reduction. In general, the greater the dosage and duration of systemic corticosteroid therapy, the greater the time required for withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids and replacement by intranasal corticosteroids.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 2835

The absorption, distribution and metabolic fate of triamcinolone acetonide-(14)C-21-phosphate were studied in the dog, monkey, and rat. A comparison of levels of radioactivity in blood or plasma, reached after intramuscular or intravenous administration, indicated that the drug was completely absorbed from the site of intramuscular injection within 10-15 min in all three species. Within 1-5 min after intramuscular or intravenous administration, the 21-phosphate ester was completely hydrolyzed to triamcinolone acetonide, which was present in the blood. The radioactivity was eliminated rapidly (t1/2 = 1-2 hr) from plasma (dogs, monkeys, and rats) and tissues (rats) after intramuscular or intravenous administration. In the three species, the major route of excretion was via the bile; however, the ratio of biliary to urinary excretion among the species varied considerably (from 1.5 to 15). In rats, excretion of radioactivity as expired carbon dioxide accounted for only 2-3 percent of the dose. 6beta-Hydroxytriamcinolone acetonide was the major metabolite in urine of the three species. Hydrolytic cleavage of the acetonide group did not appear to be significant.

Six healthy male subjects each received a single 100 uCi (approximately 800 ug) oral dose of (14)C-triamcinolone acetonide. Plasma, urine, and fecal samples were collected at selected times and analyzed for triamcinolone acetonide and (14)C-derived radioactivity. Plasma protein binding of triamcinolone acetonide was also determined. Metabolite profiling and identification were carried out in plasma and excreta. Principle metabolites were assessed for activity with in vitro anti-inflammatory models. (14)C-triamcinolone acetonide was found to be systemically absorbed following oral administration. The presystemic metabolism and clearance of triamcinolone acetonide were extensive, with only a small fraction of the total plasma radioactivity being made up of triamcinolone acetonide. Little to no parent compound was detected in the plasma 24 hours after administration. Most of the urinary and fecally (14)C-derived radioactivity was also excreted within 24 and 72 hours postdose, respectively. Mean plasma protein binding of triamcinolone acetonide was constant, predictable, and a relatively low 68% over a 24-fold range of plasma concentrations. Three principle metabolites of triamcinolone acetonide were profiled in plasma, urine, and feces. These metabolites were identified as 6 beta-hydroxy triamcinolone, 21-carboxylic acid triamcinolone acetonide, and 6 beta-hydroxy-21-oic triamcinolone acetonide.

Triamcinolone acetonide is a glucocorticoid administered by oral inhalation in the management of asthma. With oral inhalation of glucocorticoids, systemic absorption can come from oropharyngeal, gastrointestinal, or airway deposition of the drug. The objectives of this study were to determine the absolute bioavailability of triamcinolone acetonide following inhalation administration and to delineate the airway contribution of triamcinolone acetonide absorption relative to the absolute bioavailability. All subjects received a 5-minute 400 mcg intravenous infusion of triamcinolone acetonide and a single 800 mcg dose of inhaled triamcinolone acetonide with and without oral charcoal administration in a randomized three-way crossover fashion. The oral charcoal allowed for isolating the pulmonary component of absorption by adsorbing the oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal deposited drug. The mean (+/- SD) absolute bioavailability value for inhaled triamcinolone acetonide was 25% (8.75%). Delineation of the airway contribution of triamcinolone acetonide absorption showed that 10.4% of an inhaled dose is absorbed as triamcinolone acetonide from the lungs. Mean (+/- SD) total body clearance was rapid at 0.57 (0.12) L/hr/kg. The mean (+/- SD) apparent volume of distribution following the intravenous dose was a low 1.96 (0.31) L/kg. No significant differences were noted in the apparent terminal elimination half-life of triamcinolone acetonide (approximately 2.4 hr) between treatments.

The half life of triamcinolone is 2.7h. The mean terminal elimination half life following an inhaled dose of triamcinolone acetonide is 2.4h. The half life of triamcinolone diacetate is 2.8h.
Intravenous: Approximately 90 minutes (plasma). Intranasal: Apparent half-life is 4 hours (plasma) (range, 1 to 7 hours); however, this value probably reflects lingering absorption; 3.1 hours with aqueous formulation. /Triamcinolone acetonide/

Corticosteroids like triamcinolone inhibit phospholipase A2 on cell membranes, preventing the breakdown of lysosomal membranes of leukocytes, which in turn prevent the formation of arachidonic acid, which decrease expression of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, inhibiting synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Anti-inflammatory activity occurs via reversal of vascular dilation and reducing permeability, which prevents macrophage and leukocyte migration. Triamcinolone also inhibits nuclear factor kappa-B, which decreases the production of pro-inflammatory signals such as interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
Glucocorticoids are capable of suppressing the inflammatory process through numerous pathways. They interact with specific intracellular receptor proteins in target tissues to alter the expression of corticosteroid-responsive genes. Glucocorticoid-specific receptors in the cell cytoplasm bind with steroid ligands to form hormone-receptor complexes that eventually translocate to the cell nucleus. There these complexes bind to specific DNA sequences and alter their expression. The complexes may induce the transcription of mRNA leading to synthesis of new proteins. Such proteins include lipocortin, a protein known to inhibit PLA2a and thereby block the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and PAF. Glucocorticoids also inhibit the production of other mediators including AA metabolites such as COX, cytokines, the interleukins, adhesion molecules, and enzymes such as collagenase. /Glucocorticoids/

Corticosteroids diffuse across cell membranes and complex with specific cytoplasmic receptors. These complexes then enter the cell nucleus, bind to DNA (chromatin), and stimulate transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) and subsequent protein synthesis of various inhibitory enzymes responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of topical corticosteroids. These anti-inflammatory effects include inhibition of early processes such as edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilatation, movement of phagocttes into the area, and phagocytic activities. Later processes, such as capillary production, collagen deposition, and keloid formation also are inhibited by corticosteroids. The overall actions of topical corticosteroids are catabolic. /Corticosteroids (topical)/

The potent anti-inflammatory action may be due to an inhibition of the secretion of growth factors, endothelial activating and other cytokines from lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, and mast cells. The results are decreased influx of inflammatory cells into the bronchial walls, due in part to inhibition of expression of adhesion molecules on the endothelium and in the tissue. Decreased activation and survival of eosinophils in the lung tissue and a reduction in numbers of mast cells are further effects. Corticosteroids may inhibit release of mediators from basophils and enzymes from macrophages. There is decreased permeability through vasoconstriction and direct inhibition of endothelial cell contradiction. Beta-adrenergic-receptor numbers may be increased, which results in an enhanced response to beta-adrenergic bronchodilators and reduced down-regulation of beta-receptors after prolonged beta-agonist exposure. Inhaled corticosteroids also inhibit mucus secretion in airways, possibly by a direct action on submucosal gland cells and an indirect inhibitory effect caused by the reduction in inflammatory mediators that stimulate mucus secretion. The amount and viscosity of sputum are reduced. /Corticosteroids (inhalation-local/
