KENACORT-A 40 is a synthetic corticosteroid containing triamcinolone acetonide as the active ingredient.
KENACORT-A 40 is used to treat allergic diseases, bad skin problems or arthritis. It can also be used to treat painful muscles, joints or tendons by injecting directly into the painful site.
To treat these problems it is injected deep into a muscle. From the muscle, it is slowly absorbed into the blood and carried by the blood to all parts of the body.
KENACORT-A 40 suppresses inflammation and swelling and relieves pain. It does not cure the underlying problem.
