Abstract:

This was a double-blind, randomized, parallel-groups comparison of alclometasone dipropionate and desonide ointments (0.05%) applied twice daily without occlusion for 3 weeks by patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Data from thirty-three patients in each group showed that both treatments produced rapid amelioration of erythema, induration, and, especially, scaling; substantial improvement was evident after 1 week and continued thereafter. Differences between the groups were not statistically significant, but trends consistently favoured alclometasone. No adverse drug reaction occurred.
