Two multicentre, open comparative trials were carried out by seven dermatologists in Spain and Yugoslavia in 220 evaluable patients with acute superficial skin infections. In these trials halometasone/triclosan cream showed an overall success rate ('good' and 'very good' results) of 84% as against 60% obtained with the comparative preparations. With regard to therapeutic effect halometasone/triclosan cream proved significantly superior to fluocinolone acetonide/neomycin cream (p less than 0.001) and yielded a higher overall success rate, although not statistically significant, than that observed with fluprednylidene acetate/gentamicin/chlorohydroxyquinoline cream (75% versus 57%). The halometasone/triclosan cream was well tolerated: the incidence of unwanted effects was significantly lower (p less than 0.05) than that with fluocinolone acetonide/neomycin cream and equal to that with fluprednylidene acetate/gentamicin/chlorohydroxyquinoline cream.
