Treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis with halcinonide cream applied once and three times daily

Abstract

In a double-blind multi-centre study, comprising ninety-five patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, 0.1% halcinonide cream applied once daily was equally as effective as the cream applied three times daily. However, the onset of action was more rapid when the cream was applied three times daily. In a control study once daily application of 0.1% halcinonide cream was found to be superior to the vehicle alone in the treatment of forty patients with the same diseases.
