drug reactions to kenalog

by softtouch292, Oct 14, 2009 08:38AM
I live in a farming community and have developed allergies that get worse at harvest time. I usually take percsription strengh allegra d and nasacort they work for to a point. This year my doctor gave me a kenalog shot because nothing would stop the itching in my eye and throat. With in a week on was on the downward spyral with depression and anxiety which I was taking lexapro and bupropion plus clonazapan for. How long does kenelog stay in your system and how bad does kenolog interfere with these drugs working?
I would appreciate any ones insight on this matter.

Hi,

How are you? Kenalog-40 Injection or triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension,  has an extended duration of effect over a period of several weeks. Studies indicate that after a single intramuscular dose, adrenal suppression occurs within 24 to 48 hours and then gradually returns to normal, usually in 30 to 40 days. You can read more about this through this link: http://www.mims.com/Page.aspx?menuid=mng&CTRY=US&Name=Kenalog-40+Injection%2C+Suspension

Take care and best regards.
