A comparison of betamethasone benzoate gel and betamethasone valerate cream.
One hundred and twenty-one patients were treated in a double-blind fashion with .025% betamethasone benzoate gel and 0.1% betamethasone valerate cream. Results were not statistically significant, although 14 of 16 patients with psoriasis showed excellent results with betamethasone benzoate gel, as opposed to six of 14 patients given betamethasone valerate cream.
