The antiinflammatory actions of corticosteroids are thought to involve lipocortins, phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins which, through inhibition of arachidonic acid, control the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Firstly, however, these glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptors which translocate into the nucleus and bind DNA (GRE) and change genetic expression both positively and negatively. The immune system is suppressed by corticosteroids due to a decrease in the function of the lymphatic system, a reduction in immunoglobulin and complement concentrations, the precipitation of lymphocytopenia, and interference with antigen-antibody binding.Triamcinolone Acetonide is a more potent derivative of Triamcinolone and is approximately 8 times more potent than prednisone. Corticosteroids are very effective in the treatment of allergic diseases in man. When given by intranasal spray, Triamcinolone Acetonide provides relief from allergy-induced watery nasal discharge (rhinorrhea), nasal congestion, postnasal drip, sneezing, and itching of the back of the throat.
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in clinical trials with Triamcinolone included those involving mucous membranes of the nose & throat. The most prevalent adverse reactions considered are rhinitis, headache, & pharyngitis. The nasopharyngeal adverse effects included epistaxis, nasal irritation, dry mucous membrane, naso-sinus congestion and sneezing although these are seen as frequently with placebo. As with other nasally inhaled corticosteroids, nasal septal perforation has been reported.
Like any other nasally administered corticosteroid, acute overdosing with Triamcinolone is unlikely in view of the total amount of active ingredient present
There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women with Triamcinolone. Because animal studies indicate a teratogenic effect, Triamcinolone should be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential benefit to fetus. It is not known whether Triamcinolone is excreted in human breast milk.
If there is any reason to suppose that adrenal function is impaired, care must be taken while transferring patients from systemic steroid treatment to Triamcinolone. In clinical studies with Triamcinolone administered intranasally, the development of localized infections, on the nose, and pharynx with Candida albicans, has rarely occurred. When such an infection develops it may require treatment with appropriate local therapy and discontinuance of treatment with Triamcinolone. Because of the inhibitory effect of corticosteroids on wound healing in patients who have experienced recent nasal septal ulcers, nasal surgery of trauma, Triamcinolone should be used with caution until healing has occurred.
