[Miconazole-benzoyl peroxide: a new combination for extending the topical therapy of acne]

In a randomized double blind study on acne the efficacy and tolerance of a combination preparation of benzoyl peroxide and miconazole as a cream formulation was compared with those of benzoyl peroxide and oral tetracyclin. For this study, we selected patients mainly suffering from papulopustular acne of medium to high degree of severity. Efficacy and tolerance were satisfactory in both groups, and there was no statistically significant difference.
