Abstract
Betamethasone 0.1% as valerate in an ointment base and fluocinonide 0.05% in a fatty alcohol propylene glycol (FAPG) base were compared in a double-blind trial of 76 patients with either eczema or psoriasis. Betamethasone valerate ointment was significantly (P < .05) superior to fluocinonide FAPG in the treatment of both these skin conditions. The ointment base appears to considerably increase the efficacy of betamethasone valerate.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
