How to Use

1. Triton Injection must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting; do not self-inject.
2. Shake the ampoule gently before withdrawal to resuspend the steroid.
3. Use only as directed by the prescribing physician; dose and route (IM or intra-articular) depend on the indication and patient.
4. For IM use, deep gluteal injection is preferred; avoid deltoid use to reduce risk of local atrophy.
5. For intra-articular use, strict aseptic technique is essential; do not exceed the recommended frequency per joint.
6. Inform your doctor about diabetes, infections, peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, glaucoma, heart, kidney or psychiatric problems before administration.
7. Avoid live vaccines while on systemic corticosteroid therapy.
8. Do not stop prolonged steroid therapy abruptly; follow the doctor's tapering plan.
