[Effect of fluocortin butylester (0.75%) as an ointment in the pyrexal erythema test on human skin (author's transl)].

The antiinflammatory efficacy of butyl 6alpha-fluoro-11beta-hydroxy-16alpha-methyl-3,20-dioxo-1,4-pregnadien-21-oate (fluocortin butylester, Vaspit) as a 0,75% ointment was tested in comparison with 1% hydrocortisone acetate ointment in the model of the pyrexal erythema. Fluocortin butylester appeared to be significantly superior to hydrocortisone acetate.
