S-3470 was designed for an OTC drug. We clinically evaluated S-3470 on 41 patients with skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and insect bite. We obseved the patients for 3 weeks and we could take significant improvement in 92.3% cases with eczema or dermatitis and in 100% cases with insect bite. No adverse effects such as telangiectasis, redness, acne like eruptions were seen. So we decided that S-3470 was an usefull ointment.
