Clocortolone pivalate (Purantix) is a new dihalogenated corticosteroid for topica4 use, posessing powerful anti-inflammatory, anti- pruriginous, anti-allergic, anti-exudative and anti-proliferative activity.
We are clinical trial to evaluate it´s efficacy and tolerance when used at a concentration of 0.1 o in an oil-in-water base, in several dermatoses normally responsive to topical corticosteroids.
In a study of 30 cases, Purantix was shown to be highly effective in the treatment of various forms of eczema and dermatitis.
It was also shown to be highly effective in most cases of atopic ,dermatitis, and outstanding benefit was obtained in the relief of pruritus in all conditions and. highly significant for erythema, weeping, scaling and lichenification. Among these 30 cases, we observed excellent effects in 13 pts(43.3 o ), good effects in 11 pts (36.6%) and fair effects in 5 pts(16. 6 6 ). Namely among these 30 pts, 24 pts(80 ) revealed excellent to good therapeutic effects on their skin conditions with Purantix´.
