About KENACORT 8MG TABLET

KENACORT 8MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications called ‘corticosteroids’ used in the treatment of various inflammatory and allergic disorders. It is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic carditis, hormone problems, ulcerative colitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions. It is also used in the treatment of mouth sores (painful lesions occurring in the lower lip or gums).

KENACORT 8MG TABLET contains ‘triamcinolone’ which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It controls inflammation by acting on the immune system.
