Triamcinolone Acetonide-BSA Antigen

Triamcinolone acetonide is a highly potent synthetic corticosteroid used in veterinary medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-allergic properties. While it is commonly prescribed for companion animals and horses, it is sometimes applied off-label or illegally in food-producing animals (such as cattle and swine) to reduce inflammation or mask signs of disease before slaughter. Due to its potential to disrupt the human endocrine system, suppress immune function, and alter metabolic health upon dietary consumption, international regulatory agencies strictly monitor its residues. Consequently, strict Maximum Residue Limits or absolute prohibitions are enforced for its presence in animal-derived matrices like meat, liver, kidneys, and milk.
