Prescribing Information

For Patients

Triamcinolone Acetonide (triamcinolone acetonide ointment) (Brand Names: Cinolar, Kenalog, Triderm) topical is used to treat inflammation caused by conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. The dental paste form is used to treat mouth ulcers. It is a topical (for the skin) corticosteroid. This medication is available in generic form. Common side effects include burning, itching, irritation, or dryness when first applied to the skin. This should disappear in a few days as your body adjusts to the medication.

Apply to the affected area as a thin film in the following doses: Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment, 0.025% two to four times daily; Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment, 0.1% two or three times daily depending on the severity of the condition. It is not likely other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied triamcinolone. Tell your doctor all prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements you use. During pregnancy, triamcinolone should be used only when prescribed. It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk when applied to the skin. Other medications in this class pass into breast milk when taken orally. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
