Clinical evaluation of fenticonazole cream in cutaneous fungal infections: a comparison with miconazole cream.

A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-centre clinical trial was undertaken in 60 patients with dermatophytosis or pityriasis versicolor to compare topical 2% fenticonazole cream with topical 2% miconazole cream. Treatment, by twice-daily application, was for 4 weeks or until earlier complete resolution of disease. Assessment was by laboratory mycological investigation and regular clinical/symptomatic evaluation, both during and for 2 to 6 weeks after therapy.
