Pharmacological action

Polcortolone is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid, a fluorinated derivative of prednisolone, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. It is believed that 4 mg of triamcinolone has an anti-inflammatory effect equivalent to 4 mg of methylprednisolone, 5 mg of prednisolone, 0.75 mg of dexamethasone, 0.6 mg of betamethasone and 20 mg of hydrocortisone.

Has a weak mineralocorticoid effect. It inhibits the development of symptoms of inflammation. It inhibits the accumulation of macrophages, white blood cells and other cells in the area of ​​inflammation. Causes a decrease in capillary permeability. It has an immunosuppressive effect and inhibits cellular immunological reactions.

Inhibits ACTH secretion by the pituitary gland, which leads to a decrease in the production of glucocorticosteroids and androgens by the adrenal cortex.

Enhances protein catabolism, causes an increase in blood glucose concentration, affects lipid metabolism, increases the concentration of fatty acids in blood serum. With prolonged treatment, redistribution of adipose tissue is possible.

Inhibits the formation of bone tissue, reduces the concentration of calcium in the blood serum, can cause suppression of bone growth in children and adolescents and the development of osteoporosis in patients of all ages.

One tablet contains:

active substance: triamcinolone 4.0 mg

excipients: potato starch - 144.2 mg, magnesium stearate - 1.8 mg, lactose - 200.0 mg.

Dosing and Administration

The dose of Polcortolone is set individually, depending on the indications, the effectiveness of the therapy and the patient's condition. In accordance with the daily rhythm of secretion of endogenous glucocorticosteroids, the drug is recommended to be taken once a day, in the morning. However, in some cases, more frequent use of the drug may be necessary. Adults and adolescents over 14 years of age: from 4 to 48 mg / day in one or more doses.

Children: 0.1-0.5 mg / kg of body weight per day in one or more doses.

If you miss a dose, you should take the drug as soon as possible or, if the time is approaching for the next dose, skip the forgotten dose. Do not take a double dose right away.

Polcortolone should be used in minimally effective doses. If necessary, the dose should be reduced gradually.

Side effects

The frequency of development and severity of side effects depend on the duration of use, the size of the dose used and the ability to comply with the circadian rhythm of the appointment.

With short-term use of Polcortolone, like other glucocorticosteroids, side effects are rare. When using Polcortolone for a long time, the following side effects may develop:

From the endocrine system:

Secondary adrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary insufficiency (especially during stressful situations, such as illness, trauma, surgery) Itsenko-Cushing’s syndrome (moon-shaped face, pituitary-type obesity, hirsutism, increased blood pressure, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, myasthenia gravis, striae), delayed sexual development and growth suppression in children, menstrual irregularities, decreased glucose tolerance, manifestation of latent diabetes mellitus and increased need for insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs in patients with diabetes mellitus, hirsutism.

From the digestive system:

Steroid ulcer of the stomach and duodenum with possible perforation and bleeding, pancreatitis, flatulence, erosive esophagitis, digestive disorders, nausea, vomiting, increased or decreased appetite, hiccups. In rare cases, an increase in the activity of hepatic transaminases and alkaline phosphatase.

From the cardiovascular system:

Arrhythmias, bradycardia (up to cardiac arrest) development (in predisposed patients) or increased severity of chronic heart failure, ECG changes characteristic of hypokalemia, arterial hypertension, hypercoagulation, thrombosis. In patients with acute and subacute myocardial infarction - the spread of the focus of necrosis, slowing the formation of scar tissue, which can lead to rupture of the heart muscle.

From the nervous system:

Delirium, disorientation, euphoria, hallucinations, manic-depressive -psychosis, depression, paranoia, increased intracranial pressure with optic nerve congestion syndrome (pseudotumor of the brain - most often in children, usually after reducing the dose too quickly symptoms - headache, impaired visual acuity or double vision) vertigo, pseudotumor of the cerebellum, cramps, dizziness, headache, nervousness or anxiety, sleep disturbances.

From the sensory organs:

Posterior subcapsular cataract, increased intraocular pressure with possible damage to the optic nerve, glaucoma, exophthalmos, a tendency to develop secondary bacterial, fungal or viral infections of the eyes, trophic changes in the cornea.

Metabolism:

Negative nitrogen balance as a result of protein catabolism, hyperglycemia, glucosuria, increased excretion of Ca2 +, hypocalcemia, increased body weight, increased sweating, sodium and fluid retention (peripheral edema), hypernatremia, hypokalemia ( arrhythmia, myalgia or muscle spasm, unusual weakness and fatigue).

From the musculoskeletal system:

Slowing of growth and processes of ossification in children (premature closure of the pineal gland), osteoporosis (very rarely pathological bone fractures, compression fracture of the spine, aseptic necrosis of the head of the humerus and femur, pathological fractures of the long tubular bones ), tendon rupture of muscles, muscle weakness, steroid myopathy, decreased muscle mass (atrophy).

From the skin and mucous membranes:

Steroid acne, striae, delayed wound healing, thinning of the skin, petechiae, ecchymosis, hematoma, a tendency to develop pyoderma and candidiasis.

Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching, anaphylactic shock.

Other:

Development and exacerbation of infections (the appearance of this side effect is promoted by the jointly used immunosuppressants and vaccination), leukocyturia, withdrawal syndrome.

Drug Interaction

Cardiac glycosides: increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias and glycoside toxicity associated with hypokalemia.

Barbiturates, antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine), rifampicin, glutethimide accelerate the metabolism of glucocorticosteroids (by indicating microsomal enzymes), attenuate their action.

Antihistamines weaken the action of triamcinolone.

Amphotericin B, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: hypokalemia, left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, circulatory insufficiency.

Paracetamol: hypernatremia, peripheral edema, increased calcium excretion, risk of hypocalcemia and osteoporosis. Increased risk of hepatotoxicity of paracetamol. Anabolic steroids, androgens: increased risk of developing peripheral edema, acne should be used with caution, especially in the case of liver and heart disease.

Oral contraceptives containing estrogens: increase in

concentration of globulins binding glucocorticosteroids in serum, slowing of metabolism, increase of half-life, increase of action of triamcinolone.

Cholinergic drugs, mainly atropine: increase in intraocular pressure. Anticoagulants (coumarin derivatives, indadione, heparin), streptokinase, urokinase: decrease, and in some patients the increase in efficacy should be determined on the basis of prothrombin time, increasing the risk of ulcer and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.

Tricyclic antidepressants can increase the mental disorders associated with triamcinolone intake. They should not be used to treat these disorders. Oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin: weakening of hypoglycemic action, increase in blood glucose concentration may be necessary to adjust the dose of hypoglycemic drugs.

Antithyroid drugs, thyroid hormones: Changes in thyroid function may require dose adjustment or discontinuation of thyroid drug or thyroid hormone.

Diuretics: weakening of action of diuretics (potassium-sparing),

hypokalemia.

Laxatives: attenuation, hypokalemia.

Ephedrine may accelerate glucocorticosteroid metabolism, triamcinolone dose adjustment may be required.

Immunosuppressive drugs: increased risk of infection, lymphoma and other lymphoproliferative diseases.

Isoniazid: A decrease in the plasma isoniazid concentration, mainly in individuals with rapid acetylation, may require a dose change.

Mexiletine: accelerated metabolism of mexiletine and decreased plasma concentrations.

Drugs that block neuromuscular conduction (depolarizing muscle relaxants): Hypocalcaemia associated with triamcinolone may increase synapse blockade, leading to an increase in the duration of neuromuscular blockade.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid, alcohol: attenuation, increased risk of peptic ulcer disease and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Sodium-containing preparations and foods: peripheral edema, arterial hypertension, restriction on sodium and high-sodium diets may be necessary, the use of glucocorticosteroids may sometimes require additional sodium administration.

Vaccines containing live viruses: During the use of immunosuppressive doses of

glucocorticosteroids, replication of viruses and the development of viral diseases is possible, reducing the production of antibodies is not recommended at the same time.

Other vaccines: increased risk of neurological complications and decreased antibody production.

Folic acid: increasing the need for this drug.

overdose

Even taking large doses of the drug does not cause acute intoxication, but there is a risk of overdose with prolonged use of Polkortolon, especially in large doses.

The main symptoms of an overdose are hypertension and peripheral edema. In addition, overdosage of Polkortolon may occur with the side effects described above. In the event of symptoms of overdose, the drug should be gradually discontinued and symptomatic therapy should be performed.
