title: The absorption of hexachlorophane from Ultralanum ointment.
abstract: The application of Ultralanum ointment to adult skin cases has produced levels of hexachlorophane in the plasma comparable with those found in infants who have undergone whole-body washing with hexachlorophane solutions. Clinical evidence of toxicity was not observed, but it is felt that the value of hexachlorophane in topical steroid preparations should be re-appraised, particularly for long-term treatment of large eczematous areas.
