This medication comes with several important safety considerations that you should be aware of before use. Please read the following warnings carefully and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.

• Adrenal Gland Function Reduction: Prolonged use of topical triamcinolone over large areas of skin can occasionally lead to a condition known as adrenal suppression. This occurs when the body's production of steroid hormones decreases, potentially resulting in dependency on the medication. Discontinuing the medication abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms such as fever, joint or muscle pain, and fatigue. In children, symptoms may include growth delays, weight gain, and headaches. To minimize the risk of adrenal suppression, your healthcare provider will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. Always consult your healthcare provider before stopping triamcinolone. Risks include high-potency topical steroids, long-term use, excessive application, using bandages over treated areas, and use in young children.

• Risk of Skin Infection: Extended use of triamcinolone may increase the likelihood of skin infections, including fungal and bacterial types. Avoid using triamcinolone on infected skin, as it can exacerbate the condition. Inform your healthcare team if you experience redness, swelling, pain, pus, or if symptoms persist after several days of treatment, as these may indicate a new infection.

• Skin Reactions: Using triamcinolone beyond the prescribed period can elevate the risk of adverse skin reactions such as thinning skin, stretch marks, spider veins, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, inflamed hair follicles, changes in skin color, or rash. To prevent these severe reactions, your healthcare provider will recommend the lowest dose necessary to manage your symptoms for the shortest time frame. Contact your healthcare provider if you observe any new or worsening skin issues. Risks include excessive and inappropriate use of triamcinolone and applying large amounts.

Always follow your healthcare team's guidance regarding the use of this medication to ensure safe and effective treatment.
