Warnings


What may interact with Kenalog?

Interactions are not expected.

What should I tell my health care provider before I take Kenalog?

They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

-any active infection

-large areas of burned or damaged skin

-skin wasting or thinning

-an unusual or allergic reaction to triamcinolone, corticosteroids, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives

-pregnant or trying to get pregnant

-breast-feeding

What should I watch for while using Kenalog?

Tell your doctor or health care professional if your symptoms do not start to get better within one week. Do not use for more than 14 days. Do not use on healthy skin or over large areas of skin. Tell your doctor or health care professional if you are exposed to anyone with measles or chickenpox, or if you develop sores or blisters that do not heal properly.

Do not use an airtight bandage to cover the affected area unless your doctor or health care professional tells you to. If you are to cover the area, follow the instructions carefully. Covering the area where the medicine is applied can increase the amount that passes through the skin and increases the risk of side effects.

If treating the diaper area of a child, avoid covering the treated area with tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants. This may increase the amount of medicine that passes through the skin and increase the risk of serious side effects.

Where should I keep my medicine?

Keep out of the reach of children.

Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Do not freeze. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.
