Which is a medium potency topical steroid?

  1. Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% Spray

  2. Clobetasol propionate 0.05%

  3. Fluocinonide 0.1%

  4. Hydrocortisone Cream 1%

The correct answer is: Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% Spray

Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% Spray is considered a medium-potency topical steroid. Medium-potency steroids are commonly used for various inflammatory skin conditions and are more potent than low-potency steroids like hydrocortisone but less potent than high-potency steroids like clobetasol propionate. Therefore, in this context, option A is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because: - Option B, Clobetasol propionate 0.05%, is a high-potency topical steroid. - Option C, Fluocinonide 0.1%, is also a high-potency topical steroid. - Option D, Hydrocortisone Cream 1%, is a low-potency topical steroid.
