Triesence is primarily used to treat inflammatory conditions of the eye including uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmia (inflammation that occurs after injury to one eye), temporal arteritis affecting the eye, and orbital inflammatory conditions. It is administered by healthcare professionals as an intravitreal or periorbital injection.
As a corticosteroid, Triesence works by suppressing the inflammatory response and reducing immune system activity in the treated area. It inhibits the release of inflammatory substances and reduces the migration of inflammatory cells to the site of inflammation in and around the eye.
Triesence is a prescription-only medication that must be administered by a qualified ophthalmologist. Potential side effects may include increased intraocular pressure, cataract formation, and rare risks of infection. Patients should discuss their complete medical history with their doctor, particularly any history of glaucoma, diabetes, or eye infections.
