Why and how does kenalog (triamcinolone) cause constipation? i received one answer saying that it didn't but it is amoung the side effects...

Studies: When a medicine is studied using thousands of subjects, when one dies during the study it is listed as a side effect of death…even if that person is ran over by a car. If you look at the side effect for example of tamiflu, an antibiotics for flu, influenza is one of the side effects. That's how you get the list of side effects. In short, kenalog (triamcinolone) by its mechanism of action does not cause constipati.

Not common: Kenalog (triamcinolone) is a steroid. Like prednisone. Constipation is not a likely side effect from a shot of kenalog (triamcinolone) but the side affects listed are for steroids in general not necessarily for your treatment dose. Other problems can occur with daily use of steroids.
