Don't suddenly stop using triamcinolone without talking to your provider first. Let your provider know if you have symptoms of withdrawal. If you need to use triamcinolone for a long period of time or for a large area, your provider may ask you to do some lab work to test how well your adrenal gland works. To prevent adrenal suppression from happening, your provider will prescribe the lowest possible dose of triamcinolone that works well for you for the shortest amount of time. In children, symptoms often include stunted growth, weight gain, and headaches. In adults, symptoms of withdrawal include fever, joint or muscle pain, and low energy. If you suddenly stop the medication, it can be dangerous to your body.
This happens when your adrenal gland doesn't make enough of steroid hormones for your body, which creates a dependence on steroid medication.
In some rare cases, using topical triamcinolone for a long time and over a large skin area can cause a medical condition called adrenal suppression.
