A complex approach to the treatment of psoriasis, which includes topical drugs improving regenerative processes immediately in the skin in addition to systemic drugs, proves to be the most efficient one. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical efficacy of a medical complex including exogenous melatonin and Kartalin ointment for psoriatic patients. The study was based on the results of a study of 201 psoriatic patients who underwent treatment at the Dermatovenerology Clinic of the Siberian State Medical University. The clinical efficacy of the combination treatment for 35 days including joint application of standard treatment techniques, Kartalin ointment and exogenous melatonin was assessed. As a result of the study, the authors established that joint application of standard treatment techniques, Kartalin ointment and exogenous melatonin improves the treatment efficacy by 16.6%.
