Why is Aristocort R ointment prescribed?

Aristocort R (Triamcinolone acetonide) ointment is used to reduce redness, itching, swelling, and other discomforts associated with skin conditions. It belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids (steroid or cortisone-like drugs).

What does it do?

Topical triamcinolone works by inhibiting specific substances that trigger inflammation and itching in the skin such as psoriasis, eczema and other types of skin disease.

How should I take it?

This medication is for external use on the skin only. Avoid getting it in your eyes and do not apply it to areas with cuts, scrapes, or burns. If it comes into contact with these areas, rinse immediately with water.

Only use this medication for the skin condition your doctor has prescribed it for. Consult your doctor before using it for any other conditions, particularly if you suspect a skin infection. It should not be used for certain skin infections or conditions, like severe burns.

What if I missed a dose?

If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose and do not apply two doses at once.
