title: [Studies on phototoxic and photoallergic effects of cream, ointment and fatty ointment of fluocortin butylester (author's transl)].
abstract: The phototoxic action of ointment and fatty ointment of butyl 6alpha-fluoro-11beta-hydroxy-16alpha-methyl-3,20-dioxo-1,4-pregnadien-21-oate (fluocortin butylester, Vaspit) was examined by means of the epicutaneous test with subsequent UV-irradiation (Kromeyer lamp with Schott filter DG 18) in 20 patients with skin disorders. Photoallergic effects of fluocotrin butylester cream, ointment and fatty ointment were tested in a modified Draize test in which 198 subjects with normal skin participated. The subjects were sensitized in 10 epicutaneous tests conducted at intervals of 24 h and followed by irradiation (1500 W xenon lamp) with 2 MED. Treatment and irradiation were then repeated after a 2-week interval. This proceding permitted additional statements an phototoxicity of the administered preparations. No positive reactions occurred in either of the tests so that phototoxic effects can be excluded and a photoallergic potential is improbable.
