Fluticasone propionate (0.05%) cream compared to betamethasone valerate (0.12%) cream in the treatment of steroid-responsive dermatoses: a multicentric study.
Fluticasone propionate is a new topical steroid developed as a result of modification of the 19-carbon androstane structure. In the present study, efficacy of this steroid was compared with betamethasone valerate cream in patients with psoriasis and eczema. Though fluticasone propionate was marginally more effective than betamethasone valerate, this difference was not statistically significant.
