Triamcinolone in Dermatologic Therapy

Authors: HARRY M. ROBINSON Jr. M.D., RAYMOND C. V. ROBINSON M.D., JOAN RASKIN M.D.

Abstract

These studies indicate that this new steroid is more effective in the treatment of psoriasis than are other steroids. The maintenance dose for retaining remission in disseminated lupus is much less than with other steroids. Nevertheless, the authors emphasize the use of all steroids only for short-term therapy except in certain serious diseases. Triamcinolone produces untoward side-effects as do other steroids. Its use topically is effective.
