Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Trianex to work?
You may start to notice improvement in your symptoms, such as reduced redness and itching, within a few days of using Trianex. Full effects may take 1 to 2 weeks depending on the severity of the condition.
Can I use Trianex on my face?
Trianex should not be used on the face unless specifically prescribed by your healthcare provider. The skin on the face is thinner and more prone to side effects like skin thinning and irritation.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra ointment to make up for a missed dose.
Can I use Trianex for children?
Trianex may be used in children but with caution and under close supervision by a healthcare provider. Children are more susceptible to systemic absorption and side effects.
Can Trianex cause weight gain?
Although uncommon with topical use, long-term or extensive use of Trianex can lead to systemic absorption, which may cause side effects like weight gain, especially if applied over large areas or used with occlusive dressings.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Trianex Work?
Triamcinolone acetonide, the active ingredient in Trianex, works by activating glucocorticoid receptors in the skin. This leads to a reduction in the production of substances that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and cytokines. As a result, Trianex helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with skin conditions.
Common Dosages
- 0.05% ointment for topical use.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Trianex to the affected area of skin 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition and as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Use sparingly and avoid prolonged use in large areas of the body, especially in areas where the skin is thin (e.g., face, groin, underarms).
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- The treatment of inflammatory skin conditions, including:
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Allergic reactions
- Contact dermatitis
- Atopic dermatitis
Who Shouldn't Take Trianex?
- Untreated skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral)
- Known hypersensitivity to triamcinolone or any components of the ointment
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Trianex exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not use more than the recommended amount or apply it to large areas of the body for extended periods, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
- Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment, unless you are treating your hands.
- Avoid applying Trianex to broken skin or using it on your face, groin, or underarms unless directed by your doctor.
- Do not use Trianex under occlusive dressings (e.g., bandages or plastic wrap) unless instructed by your healthcare provider, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
Side Effects of Trianex
Common Side Effects
- Mild skin irritation or dryness
- Burning or stinging at the application site

Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Skin thinning (atrophy)
- Stretch marks (striae)

Risks and Warnings of Trianex
- Skin Atrophy: Prolonged use of Trianex, especially on sensitive areas such as the face or in areas where the skin is thin, can lead to skin thinning. Use the ointment only as prescribed, and avoid long-term use.
- Systemic Absorption: When applied over large areas of the body or under occlusive dressings, Trianex may be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to systemic side effects such as adrenal suppression, weight gain, or mood changes.
- Infections: Trianex can mask or worsen infections. Do not use the ointment on skin infections unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider.
Interactions with Trianex
Common Drug Interactions
- Other corticosteroids: Using Trianex with other topical or systemic corticosteroids can increase the risk of side effects, such as skin thinning or systemic absorption.
- Topical antibiotics or antifungals: If you are using other medications for a skin infection, consult your healthcare provider about how to use them alongside Trianex.
Alternatives to Trianex
