Clinical Studies
Three studies of varying duration have been carried out with Herbavate cream at various Medical Colleges in India. The first study was a non-comparative study of Herbavate of one month duration. In the second and third study Herbavate cream was compared with betamethasone a potent steroid.
Clinical Study 1:
Herbavate in Eczema
N (Number of patients) = 32 out-patients with a clinical diagnosis of eczema
Duration: 4 weeks
Treatment: Herbavate cream over the lesion twice daily
Conclusion: Due to the significant decline in the symptoms of skin conditions after using Herbavate for four weeks. Herbavate is able to manage and control the symptoms of Eczema.

Clinical Study 2:
Herbavate cream vs. topical Betamethasone in Eczema
N (Number of patients) = 119 out-patients with a clinical diagnosis of eczema
Duration: 4 weeks
Treatment: Herbavate cream over the lesion twice daily
Conclusion:There is a significant Improvement in Mean Scores for Eczema Symptoms at 4th week of Herbavate Therapy Compared to Betamethasone. Hence Herbavate appears to be a safe alternate option to the long term management of eczema without side effects.
| Symptom | n | Mean baseline score | Mean score at week 4 | Mean decrease in score | Decrease in score (%) |
| Erythema | 105 | 2.02±0.89 | 1.42±0.66 | -0.60 | -29.70* |
| Scaling | 108 | 2.58±0.84 | 1.86±1.04 | -0.72 | -27.90* |
| Thickening | 103 | 2.51±1.06 | 1.64±0.71 | -0.87 | -34.66* |
| Itching | 103 | 2.71±1.08 | 1.85±0.75 | -0.86 | -31.73* |
Conclusion: There is a significant Improvement in Mean Scores for Eczema Symptoms at 4th week of Herbavate Therapy Compared to Betamethasone. Hence Herbavate appears to be a safe alternate option to the long term management of eczema without side effects.
Clinical Study 3:
Herbavate cream vs. topical Betamethasone + Antibiotic in Eczema
N (Number of patients) = 59 out-patients with a clinical diagnosis of eczema
Duration: 3 months
Treatment: Herbavate cream or topical Betamethasone with Antibiotic over the lesion twice daily
Conclusion: The reduction appears in the mean score of the four symptoms with Herbavate for the period of 3 months is statistically almost equal to that of Bethametasone and antibiotics. Hence Herbavate appears to be a safe alternate option to the long term management of eczema.
