Triamcinolone is a commonly used synthetic corticosteroid that has recently been tested in a large clinical trial for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and shown to have some benefits [1]. To our knowledge, there are no reviews of the pharmacotherapy of triamcinolone. This review has a brief overview of the pharmacology of triamcinolone, followed by a discussion of the clinical trials with triamcinolone. Triamcinolone is used in the treatment of respiratory inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis and a variety of other inflammatory conditions.
