TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE belongs to the class of medicines called corticosteroids. It is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis/hay fever. It treats allergy symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, nose, and throat. Allergic rhinitis is inflammation and allergy of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mold, or skin flakes from certain animals.
TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE contains Triamcinolone acetonide that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers involved in allergic and non-allergic-mediated inflammation. Thereby, it helps treat inflammatory diseases. It relieves nasal and sinus congestion, mucus production, and nasal swelling caused by allergic rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis
TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE alleviates allergy symptoms in seasonal allergies and allergic rhinitis. It contains 'Triamcinolone acetonide,' which acts by inhibiting the release of particular chemical messengers involved in allergy and non-allergic-mediated inflammation and so aids in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. It improves nose and sinus congestion, mucus production, and nasal oedema caused by allergic rhinitis. It also makes the nasal passages less susceptible to allergens such as pollen, animal dander, and dust mites.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly called hay fever, mostly occurs in the summer, spring or early fall. It is usually triggered by fungus spores in the air or pollen from specific plants such as trees, flowers, weeds, or grasses. Perennial allergic rhinitis affects you throughout the year and can be triggered by mould, cockroach or dust mite droppings, pet dander and saliva.
Nonallergic rhinitis: Nonallergic rhinitis may be triggered by infections such as cold viruses, foreign material in the nose, certain foods and odours, hormonal changes, stress, certain medications, weather changes, smoke, fumes and other air pollutants.
