What is the difference between methylprednisolone and triamcinolone?
The differences are small. Methylprednisolone provides slightly better initial pain relief one and three weeks after injection than triamcinolone and betamethasone, but differences are inconsistent by four weeks and absent by 12 weeks (SOR: C, conflicting randomized controlled trials [RCTs]).
What is triamcinolone injection used for?
Triamcinolone injection is used to treat inflammation (swelling), allergic reactions, certain types of arthritis, gout, skin diseases, and many other medical problems.

What is the difference between dexamethasone and triamcinolone?
Dexamethasone is a water soluble steroid, when combined with local anesthetic; it may increase the analgesia of block duration relative to its pharmacokinetics. When compared to dexamethasone, triamcinolone, a particulate steroid has a slower onset time but may provide anti-inflammatory effects up to several weeks.
Which is better dexamethasone or betamethasone?
Based on the results of this study and other similar works in this area, it can be concluded that dexamethasone has lower effect on AFI, BPP, and NST indexes respect to betamethasone and for this reason it is more preferred rather than betamethasone.
Is Kenalog a strong steroid?
