Studies on Sudanese medicinal plants. II. Evaluation of an extract of Lupinus termis seeds in chronic eczema.
A double-blind clinical trial comparing a 10% ointment prepared from a 95% ethanol extract of Lupinus termis seeds with a 0.02% flumethasone pivalate ointment and a placebo showed that the Lupinus termis extractive was effective in the treatment of chronic eczema. The results obtained with the extract were statistically comparable to those obtained with the corticoid therapy.
