| Popis: | In a double-blind study, betamethasone dipropionate (0.05 percent) and betamethasone valerate (0.12 percent) were randomly evaluated in eczemas and other steriod-responsive dermatoses. The former was dispensed in a propylene glycol vehicle, while the latter had the usual non-greasy ointment basic. The improvement was assessed by the reduction in erythema, induration and pruritus in the course of 3 weeks. It was apparent from the analysis of the data that the preceding parameters in patients on Cream-A showed a statistically significant improvement over those receiving Cream-B week by week. Further the overall assessment showed a remarkable response in patients in patients on Cream-A. The side effects of Cream-A included transient sensation of burning or stinging. The Cream-B in addition, caused local swelling, pain and pruritus in some of the patients. |
