Hi,
In USA, no brand of triamcinolone is available OTC. It needs prescription from a health care provider. As it is a class of steroid, the nearest substitute for treating the symptoms of eczema available OTC is Hydrocortisone cream 1%.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
