title: Antiinflammatory activity of topically applied sertaconazole nitrate.
abstract: The antiinflammatory activity of topically applied sertaconazole nitrate was investigated. The dermal administration of 2% sertaconazole to rats, in which edema was induced by application of croton oil in the external ear, induced a 39.8% reduction of edema. The results show that sertaconazole applied by topical route at the concentration at which it is used in clinic, has antiinflammatory action in this experimental model.
