Which medication equivalent is 4 mg of Triamcinolone?

  1. Cortisone 25 mg

  2. Hydrocortisone 20 mg

  3. Methylprednisolone 4 mg

  4. Prednisolone 5 mg

The correct answer is: Methylprednisolone 4 mg

Triamcinolone and methylprednisolone are both corticosteroids, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat a variety of conditions. Therefore, it is not equivalent to cortisone or hydrocortisone, which are different types of corticosteroids. Prednisolone is also a different corticosteroid and the dosage is not equivalent to 4 mg of triamcinolone.
