About Kenamore 40 Injection

Kenamore 40 Injection belongs to a group of medications called corticosteroids. It is primarily used to treat the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee and helps to reduce the joint pain, stiffness, and swelling associated with inflammatory disorders. Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis in which the cartilage that cushions the bone's ends erodes due to wear and tear over time. Common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. The risk of osteoarthritis increases with increasing age.

Kenamore 40 Injection contains ‘triamcinolone acetonide’, which belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. This effect helps in reducing swelling, pain and discomfort.

Kenamore 40 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. Sometimes Kenamore 40 Injection may cause certain side effects such as sore throat, runny nose, sinusitis, dizziness, nervousness, cough, contusions (bleeding under the skin) and injection site reactions. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Kenamore 40 Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before receiving this injection. It is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age. Kenamore 40 Injection is intended for intra-articular use only. If you have osteoporosis (weak bones) or any other bone or joint relations problems, inform your doctor before receiving Kenamore 40 Injection. Kenamore 40 Injection may cause dizziness; hence it is advised to avoid driving vehicles or operating machines after receiving this injection.
