Abstract
In a double-blind trial 0.1% betamethasone 17-valerate ointment (Bet-novate) was compared with 0.25% fluocortolone and 0.25% fluocortolone caproate compound ointment (Ultralanum Plain) in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis, with and without polyethylene occlusion. The betamethasone 17-valerate ointment was significantly better than the fluocortolone ointment in patients with eczema treated without occlusion, and in psoriasis, with or without occlusion. No significant difference was demonstrated in cases of eczema treated with the ointments and occluded with polyethylene.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
