DERM/PHARM (drugs used in dermatology) is computerized data base that presents drug profiles on the more than 300 drugs used for the treatment of skin disease. This data base can be accessed through DERM/INFONET by members of the American Academy of Dermatology. This data base will be maintained by the Task Force on DERM/PHARM of the Committee on Biomedical Communications of the American Academy of Dermatology.
In a parallel group design, and using a 'blind evaluator' technique, alclometasone cream 0.05% and clobetasone butyrate cream 0.5% applied twice a day for 21 days were compared in thirty-one patients presenting with psoriasis. Erythema, induration and scaling were assessed at the start of treatment. Seven, 14 and 21 days later, effects of the two treatments were assessed and recorded together with the physician's global evaluation of overall improvement. Both drugs had similar beneficial effects on the clinical signs. No adverse experience was reported and the overall results indicate that alclometasone and clobetasone have comparable efficacy and safety.
