Title: Effectiveness of Herbal Medications in the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris - A Pilot Study
Abstract: A clinical trial was conducted in patients with grade II and III acne vulgaris. Seventy six patients aged between 16 to 24 years were included in the trial. They were advised to apply locally a herbal medication known as Clarina cream and simultaneously to take herbal Purim tablets at a dose of 2 tablets twice a day for a month. Results showed that patients with grade II acne had an excellent response in 56.25% and good response in 43.75%. Patients with grade III acne had an excellent response in 38.30% and good response in 56.66% and moderate response in 5%. These results show that Purim tablets and Clarina cream can be a useful combination treatment in patients with grade II and III acne vulgaris. There were no serious adverse reactions in any of these patients.
