D07X CORTICOSTEROIDS, OTHER COMBINATIONS<br />

This group comprises most other combined corticosteroid preparations<br />

<strong>for</strong> dermatological use, e.g. combinations with coal tar, carbamide <strong>and</strong><br />

salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is regarded as a keratolytic agent.<br />

Preparations with salicylic acid <strong>and</strong> antiseptics are classified in this<br />

group, as salicylic acid is regarded as being more important than the<br />

antiseptics <strong>for</strong> the therapeutic use of these products (psoriasis,<br />

seborrhea).<br />

The group is subdivided according to clinical potency, see D07A.<br />

Exceptions, see D07.<br />

D07XA Corticosteroids, weak, other combinations<br />

D07XB Corticosteroids, moderately potent, other combinations
