| Abstract: | In a study of 101 cases, clocortolone was shown to be highly effective in the treatment of various forms of eczema and dermatitis. Clocortolone was judged by the investigator as being effective or very effective in 71.3% of cases. It was also shown to be effective or moderately effective in most cases of psoriasis. There were mixed results in a heterogeneous group of 34 patients with other indications. Outstanding benefit was obtained in the relief of pruritus in all conditions in which this symptom occurred, and particularly in pruritus ani. Local and systematic tolerance was excellent. |
