Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

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

Pharmacokinets

After intravenous administration, triamcinolone acetonide was eliminated with a total body clearance of 37 L/h and a half-life of 2.0 hours.
