message: Triamcinolone is also used by veterinarians under the trade name Vetalog or Panalog. Could there be a little more information on the use of the drug in the treatment of animals? 99.174.169.17 (talk) 14:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Is anyone positive that the structure diagram is correct?  The diagram on this page shows hydroxide groups attached to C-16 and C-17, but according to the prescribing information that I found (http://www.onlinepharmacycatalog.com/drugs-medications/allergy-medications/triamcinolone/kenalog-injection-pi.pdf) there are methyl groups attached to these oxygens.  Is this a difference between formulations?  It would help if someone could clarify this, but my steroid chemistry knowledge is pretty basic.  Thanks in advance! Ehb (talk) 16:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  what class of steroid - add 

message: This can be injected into cysts or the cream used topically as a spot treatment in extreme cases.  Must be used very sparingly, but as acne is an inflammatory disease (excess oil->infection->inflammation->increased oil->increased infection->increased inflammation feedback repeats) corticosteroids tend to be highly effective in individuals with exaggerated inflammation responses in general (i.e. any bug bite makes a big swelling, inflammatory bowel issues, easily irritated skin, acne, etc). - Ben/Reticuli 66.178.144.73 (talk) 23:56, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The corticosteroid article divides that category into mineral and glucose affecters.  Which one does this drug fall in?  (or some other?)  Reason for asking is to help with another article, just organize content.TCO (talk) 21:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Clearly it has other medical effects as well as those listed in the article, or else it wouldn't have been used as a doping agent. The question is then, might such 'strength improvement' usage be legitimate for certain medical conditions? Just asking, I'm no expert.
edit: yeah, on second thought, I'm thinking maybe it's not even medically useful for that purpose, and that the 'doping' didn't even work. At least, that's conceivable. But again... I have no idea. Non-expert.Derwos (talk) 18:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  apparently it's used for strength gains too.
