Published Studies Related to Anusol HC (Hydrocortisone Topical)
Randomized, double-blind, split-side comparison study of moisturizer containing
licochalcone vs. 1% hydrocortisone in the treatment of infantile seborrhoeic
dermatitis. [2012]
hydrocortisone for the treatment of ISD... CONCLUSION: Moisturizer containing 0.025% licochalcone had higher cure rate
Single-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating the treatment of facial seborrheic dermatitis with hydrocortisone 1% ointment compared with tacrolimus 0.1% ointment in adults. [2011.11.17]
BACKGROUND: Tacrolimus is a topical calcineurin inhibitor with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and fungicidal properties that may be beneficial in the treatment of facial seborrheic dermatitis. OBJECTIVES: We sought to compare the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus with standard corticosteroid treatment in adults with facial seborrheic dermatitis in a phase II, single-blind, randomized controlled trial... CONCLUSION: Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment required significantly fewer applications compared with hydrocortisone 1% ointment to achieve a comparable clinical response in adults with facial seborrheic dermatitis. Tacrolimus was generally well tolerated. Copyright (c) 2011 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc. Published by Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
Comparable efficacy of a topical 0.0584% hydrocortisone aceponate spray and oral ciclosporin in treating canine atopic dermatitis. [2011.07.01]
This study compared the efficacy of a 0.0584% hydrocortisone aceponate (HCA) spray (Cortavance((R)) ; Virbac SA) and ciclosporin (Atopica((R)) ; Novartis Animal Health) in canine atopic dermatitis in a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Dogs received HCA (two sprays/100 cm(2) ; n = 24) or ciclosporin (5 mg/kg; n = 21)...
Using chamomile solution or a 1% topical hydrocortisone ointment in the management of peristomal skin lesions in colostomy patients: results of a controlled clinical study. [2011.05]
Peristomal skin complications interfere with stoma appliance use and negatively affect patient quality of life. To find an alternative to long-term peristomal skin treatment involving corticosteroid products, a prospective study was conducted to compare the effect of a German chamomile solution to topical steroids on peristomal skin lesions in colostomy patients...
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydrocortisone aceponate 0.127% lipophilic cream in steroid responsive dermatoses in Indian patients. [2010.09]
BACKGROUND: Topical corticosteroids (CSs) are the mainstay of therapy in various steroid responsive dermatoses. Newer CSs are more efficacious and safer than the older ones. There is no published data on the efficacy and safety of a new steroid hydrocortisone aceponate in the Indian population. AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydrocortisone aceponate (0.127%) lipophilic cream in the treatment of steroid responsive dermatoses in Indian patients... CONCLUSION: The study showed that hydrocortisone aceponate (0.127%) lipophilic cream is an effective therapeutic agent with a very good safety profile in various steroid responsive dermatoses in the Indian patient population.
Clinical Trials Related to Anusol HC (Hydrocortisone Topical)
The Safety of Proctofoam-HC in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy [Recruiting]
Hydrocortisone Versus Hydrocortisone Plus Fludrocortisone for the Treatment of Adrenal Insufficiency in Severe Sepsis [Recruiting]
Efficacy Study of Low-Dose Hydrocortisone Treatment for Fibromyalgia [Completed]
This study is based on clinical findings that some patients with fibromyalgia have a tendency
towards lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The hypothesis to be tested in this
study is that the administration of a very low-dose of cortisol which has no side effects
corrects this deficiency and results in an improvement of symptoms
Metabolic Effects of Acute Cortisol Withdrawal in Adrenal Failure [Completed]
Effects of adrenal steroids is generelly drawn from studies of hypercortisolism. The effects
of physiological cortisol substitution and withdrawal is studied and related to the clinical
syndrome of adrenal insufficiency.
Early Use of Hydrocortisone in Hypotensive Very Low Birth Weight Infants [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to investigate the early use of hydrocortisone in hypotensive
very low birth weight infants.
Based on the observations that:
- hypotension is a common problem in very low birthweight infants and is associated with
brain injury and poor neurological outcomes;
- some infants are refractory to standard treatment (volume expansion and vasopressors),
which is not exempt of adverse effects;
- relative adrenal insufficiency has been described in this population; we hypothesize
that hydrocortisone is effective in the treatment of hypotension in this population and
reduce the need for vasopressors.
