The results of clinical trials of ditrastic, an agent manufactured by Orion, Finland, are analyzed. The drug contains 1.5 or 3% of ditranol. Of the 59 patients treated with this drug complete resolution of clinical eruptions was achieved in 43, the condition of 10 patients considerably improved, a partial effect was observed in 4, and no effect in 2 patients. Therefore ditrastic has proved to be a highly effective agent for the treatment of psoriasis, convenient for outpatient therapy.
