A double‐blind comparison of sulconazole nitrate 1% cream with clotrimazole 1% cream in the treatment of dermatophytoses
1983
SUMMARY
Forty patients with dermatophytosis were treated with either sulconazole 1% cream or clotrimazole 1% cream (twenty patients in each group) twice daily for 4 weeks.
Overall clinical improvement with respect to baseline at weeks 2, 3 and 4 favoured sulconazole-treated patients (the differences were statistically significant). The weekly mean severity scores for the sulconazole-treated patients for erythema, scaling, fissuring and itching were consistently lower than those for the clotrimazole-treated patients and the differences were statistically significant for erythema and sealing.
It was concluded that sulconazole nitrate 1% cream is very effective against various dermatophytoses.
