- Abstract
The efficacy of naftifine cream applied once daily was compared with clotrimazole applied twice daily in the first well-controlled study in the Middle East. Data of 76 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of dermatophytosis were evaluated. The clinical diagnoses were confirmed by microscope examination and culture. Two patients in the naftifine and three patients in the clotrimazole group reported local side effects of minimal burning and erythema. The side effects occurred mainly during the initial phase of the treatment. None of the patients discontinued treatment because of side effects.
