A novel wax stick preparation of anthralin.
A new wax formulation of anthralin was compared with anthralin as used in the Ingram regimen for the treatment of chronic discoid psoriasis. In 16 out-patients 12 of the 13 who responded to the Ingram regimen also showed a satisfactory response to the wax preparation. The latter could be applied more rapidly and simply and may thus have a useful place in the domestic management of chronic psoriasis.
