About Product

Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection, manufactured by Zydus Animal Health and Investments Limited (Zydus AHL), is a prescription-only, parenteral veterinary corticosteroid formulated to address a broad spectrum of inflammatory, allergic, dermatological, and musculoskeletal conditions in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock. Inflammation, whether driven by immune hypersensitivity, autoimmune dysregulation, traumatic joint injury, or systemic metabolic crisis, represents one of the most clinically significant drivers of pain, tissue damage, and compromised animal welfare encountered in veterinary practice. Conventional corticosteroids at equivalent doses often carry disproportionate risks of sodium retention and fluid accumulation. Vetalog addresses this limitation directly by delivering Triamcinolone Acetonide, a highly potent synthetic glucocorticoid estimated to be 4 to 10 times more potent than hydrocortisone on a weight-for-weight basis, yet with markedly weaker mineralocorticoid activity, making it one of the most targeted and clinically precise anti-inflammatory agents available in veterinary medicine today. Each millilitre of the sterile suspension provides 6mg of Triamcinolone Acetonide with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, polysorbate 80, and sodium chloride for isotonicity, formulated under nitrogen-replaced conditions for maximum stability. Animeal is proud to offer Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection as part of our curated range of clinically validated prescription veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Ingredients:

Triamcinolone Acetonide IP (6mg per mL): Triamcinolone Acetonide (C24H31FO6) is a fluorinated synthetic glucocorticoid of the 9-alpha-fluoro-16-alpha-hydroxy prednisolone family. At the molecular level, it exerts its primary therapeutic action by binding to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) in target tissues. The drug-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus and acts as a transcription factor, upregulating anti-inflammatory proteins such as lipocortin-1 (annexin A1) and simultaneously downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interferon-gamma. This dual genomic action suppresses the entire arachidonic acid inflammatory cascade by inhibiting phospholipase A2, thereby preventing the generation of both prostaglandins and leukotrienes. At the cellular level, Triamcinolone Acetonide stabilises lysosomal and mast cell membranes, reduces vascular permeability, inhibits leucocyte migration into inflamed tissue, and suppresses fibroblast proliferation, collectively alleviating oedema, erythema, pruritus, and pain within 24 hours of administration. The acetonide ester modification confers a higher lipid-water distribution coefficient compared to unesterified triamcinolone, enabling prolonged tissue retention and an extended duration of action of 7 to 15 days following intramuscular or subcutaneous administration, and up to 6 weeks following intramuscular injection in certain indications. In contrast to older corticosteroids, Triamcinolone Acetonide demonstrates minimal sodium-retaining (mineralocorticoid) activity, significantly reducing the risk of iatrogenic oedema and electrolyte disturbances at therapeutic doses.

Benzyl Alcohol IP (0.9% w/v) as Preservative: Benzyl alcohol functions as an antimicrobial preservative that prevents microbial contamination of the multi-dose vial between administrations. It inhibits microbial growth by disrupting cell membrane integrity in bacteria and fungi, ensuring sterility and product safety across the vial's in-use period. At the concentrations used, it also provides a mild local anaesthetic effect at the injection site.

Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (0.75%): A hydrophilic polymer that serves as a suspending agent, maintaining the uniform dispersion of Triamcinolone Acetonide microcrystals throughout the aqueous vehicle. This controlled suspension technology regulates the rate of drug dissolution at the injection depot, directly contributing to the extended duration of action by ensuring a gradual, sustained release of the active molecule into the systemic circulation.

Polysorbate 80 (0.04%) A non-ionic surfactant that acts as a wetting and emulsifying agent, enhancing the fine and homogenous dispersion of drug particles within the suspension, improving injectability, and preventing particle agglomeration that could otherwise lead to uneven dosing.

Sodium Chloride: Included for isotonicity, ensuring that the injection formulation closely matches the physiological osmolality of blood and tissue fluids to minimise injection site discomfort and prevent cellular disruption at the site of administration.

Water for Injection IP: Pharmaceutical-grade sterile water serves as the aqueous base of the suspension, manufactured to IP specifications for parenteral use.

Features and Benefits

Highly Potent, Fast-Acting Anti-Inflammatory Ac...

Highly Potent, Fast-Acting Anti-Inflammatory Action:
Vetalog delivers Triamcinolone Acetonide at 6mg per mL, a concentration that achieves rapid and powerful suppression of inflammation, pain, and oedema across multiple body systems within 24 hours of a single injection. Its potency, estimated to be 4 to 10 times greater than hydrocortisone on a weight basis, allows clinically effective results at lower doses, reducing the cumulative glucocorticoid burden on your patient.

Extended Duration of Action for Reduced Dosing Frequency:
The acetonide esterification and controlled microcrystalline suspension technology work in concert to provide a sustained depot release from the injection site, delivering an anti-inflammatory effect that persists for 7 to 15 days following a single intramuscular or subcutaneous dose in dogs and cats, and up to 6 weeks in certain conditions. This meaningfully reduces the stress of repeat injections for your animal companion and the treatment burden for the veterinary professional.

Minimal Mineralocorticoid Activity for Improved Cardiovascular Safety:
Unlike older-generation corticosteroids such as cortisone and hydrocortisone, Triamcinolone Acetonide exerts negligible sodium-retaining activity, making it the preferred choice of veterinarians managing inflammatory conditions in patients where fluid retention, electrolyte imbalance, or iatrogenic oedema is a clinical concern. This selective glucocorticoid profile provides powerful anti-inflammatory efficacy without the cardiovascular complications associated with corticosteroids of high mineralocorticoid potency.

Flexible Routes of Administration for Targeted Therapeutic Delivery:
Vetalog supports intramuscular, subcutaneous, intra-articular, intrasynovial, and intralesional administration, giving the supervising veterinarian the clinical flexibility to match the route of delivery precisely to the nature and anatomical location of the condition being treated. Intra-articular injection directly targets joint inflammation in arthritis, while intramuscular delivery provides broader systemic anti-inflammatory cover in allergic and dermatological presentations.

Broad Multi-Species Efficacy Across Companion and Livestock Animals:
Vetalog is clinically validated for use in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, buffaloes, and pigs, making it one of the most versatile corticosteroid preparations available in the veterinary formulary. This breadth of species coverage makes it an essential, reliable tool in both small animal companion practice and large animal and farm veterinary care.

Prompt Relief in Allergic and Dermatological Disorders:
In dogs and cats suffering from pruritic dermatoses, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and insect hypersensitivity reactions, a single injection of Vetalog typically suppresses inflammation, oedema, and the urge to scratch within 24 hours, allowing existing lesions to heal more rapidly by eliminating self-trauma. In many acute allergic cases, a single injection is sufficient to resolve symptomatology entirely.

Usage and Applications

How to Use:Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetoni...

How to Use:

Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection is a prescription-only veterinary medicine and must be administered exclusively by a registered veterinarian or under the direct supervision of a registered veterinarian. It must never be self-administered or used without a valid veterinary prescription. The route of administration, whether intramuscular, subcutaneous, intra-articular, intrasynovial, or intralesional, will be determined by the attending veterinarian based on the species, nature of the condition, severity of symptoms, and the animal's body weight and overall health status. The veterinarian will draw the required dose aseptically from the vial using a sterile syringe and needle in accordance with standard clinical protocols. Shake the vial gently before drawing up the suspension to ensure uniform dispersal of the microcrystalline particles. Do not mix with other injectable preparations unless specifically directed by the prescribing veterinarian. Following administration, the animal should remain under veterinary observation for any immediate adverse reactions. All used needles, syringes, and vials must be disposed of in accordance with veterinary clinical waste regulations. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency of administration.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and freezing temperatures. Do not freeze, as freezing may compromise the integrity of the suspension and alter drug behaviour upon injection. Once broached, the vial must be used under strict aseptic technique; reseal with the original stopper and store under the same cool, dry conditions, using within the period recommended by the prescribing veterinarian. Keep out of reach of children and away from non-target animals. This product must be stored and handled in compliance with controlled veterinary pharmaceutical protocols applicable to prescription-only medicines. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the vial label and outer carton.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which species, ages, and breeds is Vetalog suitable for?

Vetalog 6mg/ml Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection is indicated for use in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, buffaloes, and pigs across a broad range of breeds and ages. Its use in young, pregnant, lactating, geriatric, or immunocompromised animals requires specific clinical assessment and dose adjustment by the prescribing veterinarian. It must only be used in any species under a valid veterinary prescription following a professional clinical evaluation, as suitability is determined entirely on a patient-by-patient basis.

How often is Vetalog administered to an animal?

The dose frequency is determined entirely by the attending veterinarian and varies based on the species, route of administration, nature of the condition, and the animal's clinical response. In dogs and cats, a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection typically provides symptomatic relief lasting 7 to 15 days, after which the veterinarian will reassess whether repeat dosing is warranted. In some conditions, a single injection achieves complete resolution. Intramuscular injections in certain presentations may provide activity for up to 6 weeks. The prescribing veterinarian will establish the minimum effective dose and appropriate interval to achieve therapeutic control while minimising the risk of corticosteroid-associated side effects.

How effective is Vetalog for managing arthritis and allergic skin conditions?

Vetalog is a highly effective and widely trusted corticosteroid in veterinary practice for both musculoskeletal inflammatory conditions and allergic dermatological disorders. In arthritis and joint inflammation, intra-articular administration delivers the drug directly to the affected joint, typically achieving measurable reduction in pain, swelling, and restricted movement within 24 hours. In allergic and pruritic dermatological conditions, intramuscular or subcutaneous administration suppresses inflammation, oedema, and pruritus reliably and rapidly, with many acute allergic cases resolving after a single injection. The degree and permanence of improvement depends on the nature and chronicity of the underlying condition, as Triamcinolone Acetonide controls inflammation but does not reverse irreversible pathological tissue changes.

What are the known side effects and safety precautions?

Common side effects following administration include increased thirst, increased urination, increased appetite, lethargy, behavioural changes, vomiting, and diarrhoea. With prolonged or high-dose therapy, more serious effects can develop including adrenocortical suppression, weight loss, muscle weakness, alopecia, skin thinning, elevated liver enzymes, and potential development of iatrogenic diabetes mellitus in predisposed animals. Vetalog should not be used in animals with active infections, diabetes mellitus, Cushing's syndrome, corneal ulcers, glaucoma, cardiac failure, or hypertension unless specifically prescribed by a veterinarian. Use in pregnancy requires careful risk-benefit assessment by the attending veterinarian. Vaccination should be avoided during treatment. All side effects must be reported promptly to the treating veterinarian.
