Patient summary
Triamcinolone 4mg tablets, used for inflammatory skin conditions, eczema and psoriasis. A synthetic corticosteroid taken by mouth rather than applied.
Mechanism of action
Triamcinolone acts as a synthetic corticosteroid. It suppresses the immune system and reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Aristocort contains triamcinolone, a corticosteroid frequently used to manage inflammatory skin conditions, eczema, and psoriasis. These tablets are available in the 4mg strength. Active ingredients reduce the immune response to minimise swelling, redness, and itching associated with various dermatological issues commonly treated with systemic therapy.
