title: Double-blind comparison between two new topical corticosteroids, halcinonide 0.1% and clobetasol propionate cream 0.05%.
abstract: A new steroid, halcinonide, was compared with clobetasol propionate cream in 100 patients with a variety of skin disorders. The study was conducted as a double-blind, paired comparison with the preparations being given twice daily. Results obtained over a 14-day period of therapy showed remarkably similar efficacy for both preparations.
