Summary In a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study, treatment of atopic dermatitis with salbutamol ointment (1% salbutamol base in white soft paraffin) b.d. for 2 weeks resulted in a decreased clinical score for redness ( P < 0.05). No marked clinical improvement was observed, however, following treatment with either salbutamol ointment or salbutamol slow‐release spandets. Some degree of systemic absorption occurred in two out of seven patients treated with salbutamol ointment, as demonstrated by urinary salbutamol levels.
