Purantix-C^(®) (0.1 % Clocortolone Pivalate Cream) is a new di-halogenated topical corticosteroid, and used in trial for treating several kinds of dermatoses.
We treated 30 patients with Purantix-C^(®) who had one of the following dermatoses; atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis. rosea, mummular eczema, psoriasis vulgaris, pruritus ani and pompolyx.
Among these 30 patients, Purantix-C^(®) showed excellent or good result (66.7%) either unoccluded or occluded application, 2~3 times daily for 7~10 days.
Comparing with Lidex (0.05% fluorocinonide cream) and Purantix-C^(®), both of them had similar effect on eczema and psoriatic groups but Lidex^(®) was more effective than Purantix-C^(®) for treating the patients with the pustulosis palmaris et plantaris.
Purantix-C^(®) without containing perfume and coloring substance was less irritative.
