Clinical experience with fenticonazole 2% formulation in the treatment of dermatomycoses and pityriasis versicolor

Int J Clin Pharmacol Res. 1987;7(6):503-6.

Abstract

Clinical efficacy of fenticonazole 2% cream has been tested on 30 patients with dermatomycoses and the 2% nebulized lotion on 10 patients with pityriasis versicolor. Treatment consisted of two topical applications of the drug for up to 5 weeks and clinical improvement and mycology were assessed at one-week intervals. Thirty-six patients (90%) were cured at the end of the 5-week period; 26 were cured from dermatomycoses and 10 from pityriasis versicolor. No recurrency/reinfection nor side-effects were encountered. The success attained by fenticonazole treatment indicates that it is a first choice drug in the therapy of superficial dermatomycoses.
