Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to pharmaceutical materials for local and non-irritating therapy for psoriasis, containing antipsoriatic ingredients. The pharmaceutical material is a liquid preparation of film-forming polymers and antipsoriatic ingredients, with which the psoriasis affected skin area can be covered and treated in situ with a medicated film or foil formed at the treatment site. Dithranol and/or glucocorticoid in combination with keratolytically acting urea are preferred for use as antipsoriatic ingredients.
