Effectiveness, Tolerability and Safety of Topical Clobetasol with Oral Hydroxychloroquine versus Topical Clobetasol with NBUVB Phototherapy in Unstable Vitiligo: Investigator Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
Both NBUVB and hydroxychloroquine combined with topical clobetasol are safe and effective agents in the treatment of vitiligo, though the improvement is more and faster with hydroxychloroquine. With hydroxychloroquine, there is no infrastructural requirement, less travel cost and less loss of working hours as opposed to NBUVB, which needs infrastructural set-up.
