  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Aristocort R Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.

Inform all doctors you go to that you are using a topical (skin-applied) corticosteroid.

Absorption: When triamcinolone is used over extensive areas for prolonged periods and under dressings that don't breathe, it is possible that enough medication will absorb into the bloodstream to give rise to unwanted side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to use triamcinolone for brief periods only and to stop using it as soon as the problem clears.

Adverse effects: Although adverse effects associated with the use of Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical) are uncommon and not to be expected from ordinary use, sensitization, irritation, and failure of therapeutic response have been noticed in rare instances.

Eyes: Use Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical) with caution on lesions close to the eye. Take care to ensure that it does not enter the eye, as Glaucoma may result. Cataracts have been reported following internal use of corticosteroids.

Infection: Topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing a skin infection. Contact your doctor if you notice any increased redness, swelling, heat, or pain around the area where the medication is applied as these are possible signs of infection.

Thinning of skin: Using topical corticosteroid medications for a long period of time can cause skin to thin or soften or cause stretch marks. Your doctor may recommend you stop using Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical) once in a while or to apply to one area of the body at a time. Suddenly stopping corticosteroid medication may cause psoriasis to return.

Pregnancy: Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical), contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: It is not known if triamcinolone passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical), it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The active ingredient in Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical), triamcinolone, belongs to the family of medications known as corticosteroids. Children may be more likely to experience the side effects encountered by using large amounts of this class of medication for long periods of time (e.g., slowing down of growth, delayed weight gain). The use of Aristocort R (Triamcinolone-acetonide-topical) by children should be limited to the smallest effective amount. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of using medication by children.
