title: New cream vehicle for flurandrenolide.
abstract: New methods are now available to help select vehicles for topical corticosteroids. In the development of a new cream vehicle for flurandrenolide, the goal was a cream base with optimal solubility for release of the drug, minimal irritation potential, and no sensitizing preservatives. Vasoconstriction tests make selection much more scientific, and a newer method for such testing is described in detail. Irritation testing then helped determine the vehicle concentration that was least irritating. Final studies included double-blind comparisons with the previous formulation in the treatment of psoriatic patients.
