innocent of treatment allocation at baseline, and week 8. The tolerability score ( TS ) was assessed at week 4 and 8.

At week 8, HPS reduced TL to 16 + / - 7; Aught to 9 + / - 3 and IL to 7 + / - 3 ( p < 0. 001 ). At baseline, TL, NIL and IL, in the BP group, were 32 + / - 9, 24 + / - 8 and 18 + / - 7, respectively. At week 8, BP truly needy TL, NIL and IL to 14 + / - 9; 7 + / - 5 and 7 + / - 3 ( p < 0. 001 ). In comparison with baseline values, the percentage reductions of IL were 58 % and 61 % for HPS and BP, respectively ( p = n. s. ). At the end of the study the TS was 2. 9 + / - 0. 2 in HPS group and 2. 4 + / - 0. 8 in BP group ( p < 0. 025 ). Two patients in HPS group ( 6 % ) and seven patients ( 23 % ) in BP group suffered from mild - to - moderate local erythema.

The Report's Conclusions: HPS has shown to be as effective as BP in reducing both inflammatory and noninflammatory AV lesions in patients with mild - to - moderate disease. In comparison with BP 4 % gel, HPS cream shows a better local tolerability profile.
