Abstract

Triamcinolone is an FDA approved synthetic corticosteroid drug used in the treatment of various skin conditions including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis (e.g., poison ivy), eczema, bullous dermatitis herpetiformis, psoriasis, lichen planus, lichen sclerosis, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, seasonal or allergic rhinitis, and others. Triamcinolone may also be used to provide symptomatic relief in chronic asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Although hydrocortisone is the preferred drug in the treatment of Addison disease and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, Triamcinolone may also serve as a second line drug. Triamcinolone is given as a prescription by the primary care physician and topically available as an over-the-counter medication. Triamcinolone comes under several brand names.[1][2][3][4]
