Drug safety related treatment advice - #10513
Hello Doctor, I have a question regarding my 70-year-old mother’s current treatment. She has a chronic musculoskeletal condition, possibly osteoarthritis. About two months ago, she completed a course of triamcinolone acetonide at 40 mg/mL once per week for six weeks. Her organ function tests are all normal (test done recently). She is now being administered the same medication and dose again. I am concerned whether this dose might be higher than recommended and about possible long-term effects. I would also appreciate any guidance regarding other possible treatment options or strategies to manage her condition safely. Thank you for the help.
