KENALOG-40  (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE):  This medication is used in a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, collagen and skin diseases. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of triamcinolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Triamcinolone acetonide is known as a corticosteroid hormone (glucocorticoid). It works by decreasing your body's immune response to these diseases and reduces symptoms such as swelling.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2019-04-12

Hair density has been destroyed from this drug. Contacted FDA, Bristol Meyer Squibb and attorneys....No one gives a F*** that my appearance has been emaciated!

 1  throat tension Hirsutism, hair loss, muscle pain/weakening, bone pain, pathologic fracture of fibula, limb swelling, blood pooling in extremities, circulatory issues, skin thinning, easy bruising/cuts, slow wound healing, osteoporosis (at 22 years old!), pain @ injection site, subcutaneous fat atrophy, tissue atrophy, etc. As an update to previous review: it's been over 10 months since my 1 Kenalog-40 injection. The psychological side effects have subsided, but not much else. New side effects include shooting pain at injection sites, pathologic fracture of my fibula, worsening symptoms from barometic pressure. My hair has continued to fall out for over 6 months now. Texture and color of eyebrow and body hair is different and patchy. Despite initial weight loss, my weight has been uncontrollably increasing even though my intake is low. This has changed my body and appearance entirely. I regret my injection everyday and cry everyday from what it has done to me. F 22 1 times

 1  Allergies Insomnia, panic attack, heart racing, irritable, dizziness, blurred vision, headache My doctor should have never given me this kenalog shot knowing I have a prescription for anxiety. Two weeks later and I'm still full of andrenaline - can't sleep, feeling out of body, weird. I do not recommend getting this shot if you have any form of anxiety because of all the discomfort you will feel. I try to use mind over matter but it's very difficult. F 51 2 weeks

 1  Sinus Update: it's been almost a year since I've taken Kenalog. I still have side effects, the worst one is hair loss. I've lost over 70 percent of my hair and it continues to fall out. I also was told that the drug lowers your immune system which is causing bad cells in my cervics. It's been a long rough year. My hair loss can be permanent and it seeming to show that it is. Worst decision I ever did was take this horrible drug. Please be wise and look up the review's and disclaimers. F 29 0 days

 4  Asthma , early arthritis allergies Feeling a tad warm the beneficial aff ects only last a month or so controlling allergies and asthma where u can walk for hours without an inhaler nearby is a life saver. I have Mild adult acme- occasional boil or so so I also take 100 mg doxycycline to control acne the other side effects people are saying I already have work or without auction as difficulty falling asleep etc Life saver and other asthma and allergies controllers don't do the job as well but this medicine I have to give a cool down period of 3 months before doc will give me another shot M 35 2 years
