[On the question of interval application of topical corticoids/Practicability and efficacy (author's transl)]. 1982

H Schmitz, and E Flinzer

Therapeutic efficacy and practicability of an interval treatment were investigated in a multi-center study in a total of 1573 patients with psoriasis or eczema, respectively. Fluocortolone monohydrate as Syracort and Syracerin as steroid-free "partner drug" were applied at 4-13-day intervals. The findings and established results substantiate equivalent therapeutic success in comparison with consistent treatment. Starting from the premise that the risk of steroid-induced skin lesions can be reduced, if not avoided, by interval application of topical corticoids one may consider steroid application at intervals as superior to consistent therapy.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
