Triamsinolone Cream
Were you looking for information about Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream? Triamsinolone cream is a common misspelling of triamcinolone acetonide cream.
Adults and children with eczema, psoriasis, or certain other skin conditions may benefit from triamcinolone acetonide cream (Kenalog® cream). This prescription medicine is typically applied to the affected areas of the skin two to four times daily, but the exact dosage will mainly depend on the type and severity of your skin condition. As a type of steroid, this medication works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system. Side effects may include skin irritation, burning, and itching.
