Abstract |
Thirty-nine patients with psoriasis were treated either with amcinonide ointment 0.1 percent twice a day or with fluocinonide ointment 0.05 percent three times a day in a two-week, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind study. The severities of the skin lesions at baseline and at weekly intervals and the overall improvement at weekly intervals were evaluated by the investigator and the patient. The skin lesions improved significantly (p less than or equal to 0.01) over their condition at baseline, with good overall improvement attained by both treatment groups within one week. Both treatments were well tolerated. Amcinonide ointment 0.1 percent applied twice a day was found to be as effective and acceptable to patients as was fluocinonide ointment 0.05 percent applied three times a day in the treatment of psoriasis.
