Triamcinolone Injection contains triamcinolone acetonide, a corticosteroid formulated for use in dogs, cats, and horses to help manage inflammation associated with a variety of conditions. It is indicated for the control of pruritus (itching) due to allergic dermatitis, inflammatory skin disorders, and other conditions where corticosteroid therapy is appropriate.
This injectable formulation allows for precise dosing and rapid delivery of the medication under veterinary supervision. Triamcinolone acetonide works to reduce inflammation, swelling, and immune-mediated responses, helping relieve discomfort and improve overall comfort in affected animals.
Triamcinolone Injection should be administered under the guidance of a veterinarian, with dosage tailored to the species, weight, and specific condition being treated. Proper veterinary oversight helps ensure safe and effective management of inflammatory and allergic conditions.
Do not use in animals allergic to triamcinolone.
Do not use in animals with a systemic fungal infection, viral infection, with a stomach ulcer or intestinal ulcer or with untreated Cushing's disease. Use with caution in animals receiving other drugs that can cause stomach ulcers, including aspirin or NSAIDs.
Use with caution in animals with diabetes, cardiovascular or heart disease, that are pregnant, have a bacterial infection or are young and growing.
Possible side effects may include allergic reactions (labored breathing, hives, etc), increased blood pressure, sudden weight gain, increased intake of water, increased urination, and decreased immune system.
Disposal of Unused Prescription Medications
- Return unwanted or unused medications to Revival Animal Health in person, or visit www.disposemymeds.org to find a pharmacy near you.
- A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
- Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
