Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does TriHeal-80 Work?

Triamcinolone acetonide works by suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. It inhibits the production of substances like cytokines and prostaglandins, which are involved in inflammation. This reduces swelling, pain, and allergic reactions in the body, making it effective for conditions like arthritis, skin diseases, and allergies.
