New Drug Assists Aging With Cortisone Compound
The Veterans Administration reports a Martinsburg VA center study finds triamcinolone, a cortisone family drug, can be safely used for elderly patients and heart conditions. Dr. Thomas H. McGavack says it may be given to oldsters with severe heart failure without harm, contrasting with other anti inflammatory drugs that worsen heart failure by salt and water retention. The result stems from a broader aging research program led by McGavack at Martinsburg during the past year.
