A clinical comparison of betamethasone 17,21-dipropionate and clobetasol propionate creams in dermatology. 1977

V Voigtländer

In a double-blind investigation, 36 patients suffering from various steroid-reponsive dermatoses were treated twice daily for three weeks either with 0-05% betamethasone 17,21-dipropionate cream or with 0-05% clobetasol propionate cream. Results showed both products to be highly effective in terms of onset of action and efficacy and no statistical differences were found (p greater than 0-1).
