Special Remarks onNot available.
Toxicity to Animals
Special Remarks onMay cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic) Human: passes through the placenta.
Chronic Effects on Humans
Special Remarks on otherPotential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on HumansSkin: May cause skin irritation.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritaition.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting. May cause
ulcerative esophagitis and peptic ulcers. May cause fluid and electrolyte disturbances resulting in sodium
retention, fluid retention, congestive heart failure in susceptible individuals, potassium loss, hypokalemic alkalosis,
increased calcium excretion, mild diuresis, polyuria, polydypsia, hypertension. May cause depression of
appetite/anorexia in contrast to voracious appetite ordinarily encountered with other glucocorticoids. Common
corticosteroids may cause euphoria whereas Triamcinolone may cause mood depression.
May cause steroid myopathy/muscular atrophy with loss of muscle mass and muscle weakness involving
muscles of the thighs, pelvis, and low back, muscle cramps. May cause other musculoskeletal effects such as
Osteoporosis, vertebral conpression fractures, pathologic fractures of long bones. May affect immune
system/immune response and increase the susceptibly to infections. May very rarely cause hypertension,
hyperglycemia, and may affect behavior/central nervous system (excitation, vertigo, headache, convulsions,
psychosis, hallucinations), and eye problems (glaucoma, mydriasis). Dermatologic effects may include impaired
wound healing, thin fragile skin, facial erythema, petechiae and ecchymoses.
