Triamcinolone Acetonide Mechanism of Action – How Do Kenacort Tablets Work?

Triamcinolone Acetonide (Kenacort Tablets) is a glucocorticoid that works by binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors, which then translocate to the cell nucleus. In the nucleus, the complex binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) in target genes, suppressing the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins (like cytokines and enzymes) and increasing the expression of anti-inflammatory proteins.
This ultimately reduces inflammation by decreasing inflammatory cell migration, inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators, and decreasing the tissue response to inflammation.

Triamcinolone Acetonide (Kenacort Oral Tablets) During Pregnancy

Triamcinolone Acetonide has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category C. Corticosteroids have been observed to be teratogenic in many species when given in doses equivalent to the human dose.
Triamcinolone acetonide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Human and animal studies suggest that use of corticosteroids during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of orofacial clefts, intrauterine growth restriction and decreased birth weight.
If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while using this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
Do not use this medicine without your doctor's consent in case you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment.

Kenacort Oral Tablets - Nursing Considerations

Many corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals at low doses.
Since adequate human reproduction studies have not been performed with corticosteroids, the use of these drugs in pregnancy, nursing mothers, or women of child-bearing potential requires that the possible benefits of the drug be weighed against the potential hazards to the mother and the embryo, fetus, or breast-fed infant.
Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
