[A controlled double-blind clinical trial of a new association of a wide-spectrum antifungal preparation and a corticoid (author's transl)]

Abstract

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.
