Indications:
Triamcinolone acetonide ointment is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Dosage and Administration:
Adults:
Apply 0.1% ointment 2–3 times daily according to severity of the condition.
Pediatric:
Administer the least amount of topical preparations that provides effective therapy.
For dermatologic use only; avoid contact with eyes. The area of skin to be treated may be thoroughly cleansed before topical application to reduce the risk of infection; however, some clinicians believe that, unless an occlusive dressing is used, cleansing of the treated area is unnecessary and may be irritating. Apply ointment sparingly in a thin film and rub gently into the affected area. Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
Contraindication:
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients.
On eyes and mucous membranes.
