How Long Does Kenalog Remain In The System?
I have granuloma annulare. I have been having kenolog injections every 2-3 mo. How long after the injections will kenolog stay in the system? I also take Humira 40ml 2x a mo. I think the kenolog raises the blood sugar. Noticed it going back down lately. The last kenolog was Feb 6 2017 Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kenalog is having Triamcinolone.
It is systemic corticosteroid.
It's half life is about 7-8 days.
So it stays in the body for 7-8 days.
So you can expect Kenalog injection in the body for 1 week after injection.And yes you are right. This can increase blood sugar level.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
