          Equivalent safety

          •  Safety is equivalent for both treatment groups, with 14 patients presenting with adverse
           effects in each group. The most common side effects are infections and infestations (6 in
           the BETESIL group and 7 in the Betamethasone valerate cream 1% group).
          •  The serious adverse effects (bladder polyps resection, worsening of asthma, fracture of
           a rib and clavicle) identified in the Betamethasone valerate cream 1% group were not related
           to treatment. No adverse effects of grade 3-4 have been identified in the BETESIL group.
