- Description
- It has been a long-held concern of a number of people working in this field that some dermatologists prescribing a 1:10 dilution of a corticosteroid preparation such as Dermovate cream believe that the final product will be one tenth as efficacious and also produce one tenth of the side effects as the undiluted formulation. This is certainly not the case. Dermovate falls into the very potent category of topical corticosteroid preparations (as defined in the United Kingdom Monthly Index of Medical Specialities) and a 1:10 dilution falls into the potent category.
