Hydrocortisone valerate. Double-blind comparison with two other topical steroids.

Abstract
Hydrocortisone valerate cream (0.2 percent) was evaluated in three controlled clinical trials involving a total of sixty-eight patients with atopic dermatitis. This new nonfluorinated steroid was found to be as effective as the fluorinated beta-methasone valerate cream (0.1 percent) and significantly more effective than hydrocortisone cream (0.1 percent) and the placebo cream base. All studies were double-blind, paired comparisons, utilizing application of the medications three times a day for up to four weeks or until clearing occurred.
