Is Decadron A Good Substitute Of Kenalog?
Hello, I just had an Injection of Decadron yesterday -- a small dose to try me on it. In the recent past, I ve had Kenalog for the Arthritis inflammation - of Systemic Lupus. Is Decadron a good substitute --- possibly better than Kenalog -- for a woman at the age of 85? Trudi

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Decadron is dexamthasome and kenalog is triamcinolone. Both are steroids and both are effective for lupus arthritis. Decadron is more effective and side effects are minimal when compared to kenalog. You can change to decadron after consulting with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
