Talk:Triamcinolone acetonide

Text seems limited and taken out of context
(Note: I couldn't find the original Medline reference, when I tried the link). It seems (implicit) from the current text, that this medication is to be ingested (tabletform) ? effects of such an overdose appear to be confined to gastrointestinal upset However Triamcinolone Acetonide is commonly found as a topical cream, ointment (i.e. see MedlinePlus or Topical steroid).

The information about "number of patients with sideeffects" also seems taken completely out of context. The Medline article above lists many sideeffects?

This is outside my area, and besides I'm very new to wiki, so I just wanted to call attention to the problems here. Tøpholm (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Maximum dosage?
Like the "side effects", the maximum dosage seems to be out of context as well. The article states "The maximum dosage for both adults and children (age 6-12) is 220 mcg per day." but I have a prescription tube of topical cream is labeled "Each Gram contains 5 mg of Triamcinolone Acetonide in an ointment base of White Petrolatum and Light Mineral Oil." It seems very unlikely to me that this concentration could be used in the microgram quantities stated in the article.

 * your script is for a cream. however the drug can to administered in different ways for example an injection which could put it over this amount. p.s. I have no idea whether the data in this article is right. Krj373 (talk) 07:35, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * According to the FDA labeling, the intranasal maximum dose for triamcinolone acetonide is 220 mcg per day, or 2 sprays in each nostril per day. This applies to nasal spray bottles. The FDA labeling for topical creams does not list a maximum dose.

Where is this available over-the-counter? Any source for that claim?
Is triamcinolone acetonide actually available over-the-counter in the US? Is there any source for that claim? Maybe just the nasal spray, or just the skin cream, but not both? I have never seen it on a store shelf. Fluoborate (talk) 00:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

As of April, 2014, the article states that a nasal spray is available OTC.

Indicate potency category
Corticosteroid pages should indicate the potency class, or at least provide a link to a list or chart of potency, such as here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topical_steroid peter (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Lack of Intratextual Referencing
Aside from the first section, many statements are made without attribution.

Antifungal
Poorly worded sentence under "medical uses" implies this is an antifungal - incorrect — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.118.244 (talk) 13:19, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
