| Dithranol |
Dithranol has been used in the treatment of sub-acute and chronic psoriasis for over 70 years and, during that time it has become established as a safe and effective form of therapy. Its precise mode of action is still to be confirmed, although it has been shown to inhibit DNA replication, cellular respiration and key cellular enzymes eg glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. |
