In a controlled double-blind study, the author has comparatively studied the effectiveness and the safety of econazole and of a combination econazole-triamcinolon topically applied, on inflammatory dermatomycoses. Results on 58 patients are reported. The respective well-known properties of econazole and of triamcinolon are maintained in the combination. Clinical symptoms statistically faster disappear with the combined preparation, during the first days of treatment. In addition, the average treatment duration is shortened when econazole-triamcinolon is applied. The new preparation allows security to the physician as well it makes the patient more comfortable.

[The association tretinoin-erythromycin base: a new topical treatment for acne. Results of a multicentric trial on 347 cases (authors transl)].

A multicentric trial involving ten dermatological departments was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tollerance of ANTIBIO-ABEREL (an association of Tretinoin and Erythromycin base) in 347 patients with persistant acne. Complete healing or considerable improvement was obtained in 85% of cases. This new treatment was active against both inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) and retentional elements (microcysts and open comedones). It was also rapidly active, as very favorable results were obtained in ten weeks or less, in more than half of the cases. The tolerance was remarkable (less than 1% of cases had to interrupt treatment). This product represents an important progress as compared to Tretinoin alone. No other local or systemic therapy, especially long term antibiotherapy, is required.
