Abstract
Twelve patients suffering from pruritic dermatoses used four tablets in rotation for their complaint.

In about 66% of the cases, there was a beneficial action from one or more of the tablets.

Sixteen per cent of the patients suffered from undesirable side effects.

All four tablets were lactose-containing placebos.
