The effects of solvent [acetonitrile, methanol, and acetonitrile/water mixture (20:80, v/v)], buffer concentration (phosphate buffer, pH 7.5), ionic strength and commonly employed adjuvants on the photodegradation of betamethasone-17 valerate in cream and gel formulations have been studied on exposure to UV
Topical pimecrolimus may maintain remissions of atopic dermatitis (AD) by inhibiting subclinical inflammation. To evaluate clinical and cytological effects of pimecrolimus in topical corticosteroid-treated and resolved AD lesions.
