Medications can interact with certain foods. In some cases, this may be harmful and your doctor may advise you to avoid certain foods. In the case of triamcinolone, there are no specific foods that you must exclude from your diet when receiving this medication.

Take triamcinolone exactly as prescribed. If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses of triamcinolone at the same time.

This medication comes in several topical forms.

• Apply the ointment, cream, liquid, or lotion sparingly in a thin film and rub it in gently.
• To apply the topical spray, shake well and spray on the affected area holding the container about 3 to 6 inches away. Spray for about 2 seconds to cover an area the size of your hand. Avoid inhaling the vapors. If you are spraying near your face, cover your eyes.
• To apply the paste, press a small amount on the mouth sore without rubbing until a thin film develops. You may need to use more paste if the mouth sore is large. If the mouth sore does not begin to heal within 7 days, call your doctor.
• The dose and frequency of use of triamcinolone will depend on the condition being treated.

This medication is available in an injectable form to be given directly into a muscle (intramuscular; IM), into a joint (intra-articular) and into the eye (intravitreal) by a healthcare professional.
