- Brief Summary
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder that causes physical discomfort and psychological distress in 1-5% of the population worldwide. Clobetasol Propionate (CP) is a synthetic super-potent fluorinated topical corticosteroid, used for the treatment of psoriasis and available in variety of formulations such as ointments, creams, lotions, solutions and gels at a concentration of 0.05% regardless of vehicle. Foam dosage form is newer and excellent for topical application of medication. Due to unique film forming and breaking characteristics, foam can be easily transferred from the container to the intended skin application site. Several studies reported that patient gives higher preference to foam than other traditional dosage form like cream or ointment due to ease of application, easy and uniform spreading on skin surface, less stickiness, less greasy feeling, quick drying after application and relatively less residue on skin surface after application. The present study is planned to compare the efficacy and safety of Torrent’s clobetasol propionate topical foam 0.05% with clobetasol propionate lotion 0.05% in patients of mild to moderate plaque type psoriasis.
