Used for systemic anti-inflammatory therapy across rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, asthma, IBD, vasculitis, allergic reactions and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Standard adult anti-inflammatory dose: <strong>4&ndash;48 mg\/day<\/strong> in 1&ndash;4 divided doses, titrated to response. Triamcinolone 4 mg is approximately equivalent to prednisolone 5 mg (potency ratio ~5). <strong>Never stop abruptly after more than 2&ndash;3 weeks of daily use<\/strong> &mdash; the drug suppresses the body&#39;s own cortisol production (HPA-axis suppression) and abrupt withdrawal can precipitate adrenal crisis. Always taper under medical supervision. Common side effects: weight gain, raised blood sugar, raised blood pressure, mood change, bone loss, increased infection risk, cataract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- medsbase-specialist-strip --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:16px 20px;margin:0 0 24px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:14px;\"><strong>\u2695 L\u00e9k vy\u017eaduj\u00edc\u00ed odborn\u00fd dohled \u2014 nutn\u00fd klinick\u00fd dohled.<\/strong> Toto je z\u00e1va\u017en\u00fd imunomodula\u010dn\u00ed l\u00e9k se specifick\u00fdmi po\u017eadavky na p\u0159edl\u00e9\u010debn\u00e9 vy\u0161et\u0159en\u00ed, \u010dern\u00fdmi v\u00fdstrahami a povinn\u00fdm laboratorn\u00edm monitorov\u00e1n\u00edm.

Glucocorticoids are the most powerful broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs available, with effects across almost every tissue and organ system.<\/p>\n<p>Tricort is Cipla&#39;s branded generic triamcinolone tablet &mdash; a stocked alternative to Kenacort across the same 4 mg strength. Available in 30, 60, 90 and 180 tablet packs. Same active ingredient and same clinical role as Kenacort tab; choice between them is usually based on price and pack-size availability.<\/p>\n<p>Triamcinolone 4 mg is approximately equivalent to prednisolone 5 mg (potency ratio ~5). The physiological daily cortisol output of a healthy adult is approximately 5&ndash;7.5 mg of prednisolone-equivalent &mdash; any dose above that is &ldquo;supraphysiological&rdquo; and begins to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why triamcinolone instead of prednisolone?<\/strong> Triamcinolone has <strong>almost no mineralocorticoid (fluid-retaining, sodium-retaining) effect<\/strong> compared with prednisolone or hydrocortisone. This makes it a sensible oral choice in patients with poorly-controlled hypertension, congestive heart failure, severe oedema, or known intolerance of fluid retention on prednisolone. The trade-off is a slightly higher rate of muscle weakness (steroid myopathy) at high doses, particularly in older patients.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Tricort Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Triamcinolone enters cells, binds the <strong>intracellular glucocorticoid receptor<\/strong>, and the receptor-drug complex translocates to the nucleus where it alters transcription of hundreds of genes. The end result is a broad dampening of the inflammatory cascade:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines<\/strong> (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-&alpha;, IFN-&gamma;) and chemokines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stabilises lysosomal membranes<\/strong>, reducing release of proteolytic enzymes into tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inhibits phospholipase A<sub>2<\/sub><\/strong> via lipocortin, cutting off the prostaglandin and leukotriene pathways upstream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduces capillary permeability<\/strong> and tissue oedema.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suppresses B- and T-lymphocyte function<\/strong> and circulating lymphocyte counts (relative lymphopenia).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduces eosinophil and basophil activity<\/strong>, partially explaining the rapid effect in asthma, allergy and eosinophilic conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clinical onset (oral): symptomatic relief within <strong>hours to 1&ndash;2 days<\/strong> for most inflammatory conditions. Peak anti-inflammatory effect within 4&ndash;72 hours.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pou\u017eit\u00ed a indikace<\/h2>\n<p>Tricort is used across a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

In a patient with poorly-controlled hypertension, congestive heart failure, severe oedema, or a history of fluid retention on prednisolone, triamcinolone is a sensible alternative at equivalent anti-inflammatory dose. The trade-off is a slightly higher rate of steroid myopathy at high or prolonged dose, which is why prednisolone remains the default for most indications.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the equivalent dose of Tricort to prednisolone?<\/h3>\n<p>Triamcinolone 4 mg is roughly equivalent to prednisolone 5 mg, methylprednisolone 4 mg, hydrocortisone 20 mg, and dexamethasone 0.75 mg in anti-inflammatory potency. When switching between oral steroids, use this conversion to keep the anti-inflammatory dose the same.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must I take Tricort in the morning?<\/h3>\n<p>Endogenous cortisol peaks between 6 and 9 a.m. Morning dosing mimics this natural pattern, suppresses the HPA axis less than evening dosing, and reduces insomnia. Once-daily morning dosing is standard; twice- or thrice-daily dosing is reserved for severe disease at the cost of more HPA suppression.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can&#39;t I just stop Tricort if I feel better?<\/h3>\n<p>After more than 2&ndash;3 weeks of daily dosing, the adrenal glands stop making their own cortisol because the pituitary sees plenty of it arriving from the tablet. If you stop abruptly, the adrenal glands cannot switch back on fast enough &mdash; you have no cortisol for hours to days, which can cause an adrenal crisis (collapse, low blood pressure, severe nausea, confusion, potentially death). Always taper under medical supervision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I protect my bones on Tricort?<\/h3>\n<p>Start calcium 1,000&ndash;1,200 mg\/day + vitamin D 800&ndash;1,000 IU\/day from day one. For courses expected to last more than 3 months at 6 mg\/day or higher, a weekly bisphosphonate (alendronate or risedronate) or annual zoledronic acid should be considered from the start in post-menopausal women and older men &mdash; do not wait for a DEXA scan. Weight-bearing exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol, and adequate protein intake all help.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Tricort give me diabetes?<\/h3>\n<p>Corticosteroids raise blood glucose and can unmask latent diabetes or worsen existing diabetes. Expect fasting glucose to rise within days of starting any moderate-dose course. Check fasting glucose or HbA1c before starting; monitor during; be ready to up-titrate oral hypoglycaemics or add temporary insulin. Steroid-induced diabetes from a short course usually resolves within weeks of tapering off; long-term use can cause persistent diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol on Tricort?<\/h3>\n<p>Moderate alcohol (up to 1&ndash;2 units\/day) is generally safe on short-to-medium steroid courses, but combined steroid + NSAID + alcohol is a major risk factor for GI bleed. Higher alcohol intake during long-term steroid therapy also increases the risk of avascular necrosis of the hip. Keep alcohol low during any steroid course &mdash; and avoid entirely if taking concomitant NSAIDs or with a history of GI bleed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I get an infection while on Tricort?<\/h3>\n<p>Steroids suppress both the immune response and the outward signs of infection (fever may be blunted, symptoms less obvious). Any unexplained fever, productive cough, new pain, severe fatigue or malaise on Tricort should be reviewed promptly. During acute illness you may need a temporary DOSE INCREASE (&ldquo;stress dose&rdquo;) rather than a dose reduction &mdash; your prescriber should have given you sick-day rules. Do not stop the steroid when you are ill.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I have live vaccines on Tricort?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ne, p\u0159i imunosupresivn\u00edch d\u00e1vk\u00e1ch.<\/strong> Live vaccines (MMR, varicella, yellow fever, BCG, live nasal flu, live Zostavax) are contraindicated at triamcinolone 16 mg\/day or more for 2 weeks or longer, and for 3 months after stopping. Inactivated vaccines &mdash; annual flu jab, pneumococcal, COVID-19, recombinant Shingrix, HPV &mdash; are fine and recommended. Plan travel vaccinations and Shingrix before starting a prolonged course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a steroid card and do I need one?<\/h3>\n<p>A steroid card is a small card you carry that states you are on long-term corticosteroid therapy. It warns emergency clinicians and anaesthetists that you have HPA-axis suppression and may need stress-dose steroid cover during surgery, trauma or severe illness. You should carry one if you have been on any oral corticosteroid for more than 3 weeks, or after any IM depot in the previous 6 weeks. Pharmacies can issue one on request.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro\u010d objedn\u00e1vat z MedsBase<\/h3>\n<p>Tricort is supplied through a WHO-GMP certified manufacturer with full COA documentation.
