• Anti-inflammatory Effect: Triamcinolone effectively reduces inflammation, swelling, and associated pain in treated conditions by inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
• Immunosuppressive Action: As a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, triamcinolone suppresses the immune system which is beneficial in managing autoimmune diseases.
