Reposted from @molecule_of_the_day (@get_regrann) - Triamcinolone acetonide, sold under the brand name Kenalog or Nasacort, is a medicine 💊 used to treat a variety of conditions, primarily skin diseases and nasal 👃 inflammation. To relieve skin itching and eczema, it is usually applied topically on skin as a cream. For the treatment of hay fever (allergic rhinitis), triamcinolone acetonide is instead used in nasal spray form. It can also be delivered intravenously 💉, although this can lead to side effects like loss of fat and muscle 💪 at the injection site. This drug is a synthetic steroid that suppresses the immune system, hence reducing allergy symptoms. Thanks 🙏 anonymous for the suggestion! The molecular structure was created using ChemDoodle.
