The intensity of skin itching, the time of onset of the antipruritic effect against the background of the study drug, its duration, the anti-inflammatory effect of the drug, as well as its safety were assessed in patients.

The anti-inflammatory effect of the drug was noted in most patients (in 24 people) on the 10th day of the study. By the end of the study, according to the doctor’s assessment, 26 patients showed significant improvement from the therapy. No side effects were detected in any patient.
Conclusion. The results of the study allow to recommend Fleming’s ointment as an effective and safe remedy for the treatment of skin itching in dermatoses.
