The invention relates to a device to assist in quantifying a medicament for application on the skin, characterised in that it includes, on the one hand, a first element having a first window and at least one additional window and, on the other hand, a second element having a first graduation and at least one additional graduation, each graduation comprising successive values, the said first and second elements being superimposed and mounted so as to rotate with respect to each other about an axis of rotation so that, when the second element is rotated with respect to the first element, each additional window is arranged in front of one of the successive values of each additional graduation, as a function of the position of the first window relative to the successive values of the first graduation. The invention applies, in particular, to determining the quantity of a cream marketed under the brand name Silkis™.
Device to assist in quantifying a medicament for application on the skin, characterised in that it includes, on the one hand, a first element having a first window and at least one additional window and, on the other hand, a second element having a first graduation and at least one additional graduation, each graduation comprising successive values, the said first and second elements being superimposed and mounted so as to rotate with respect to each other about an axis of rotation so that, when the second element is rotated with respect to the first element, each additional window is arranged in front of one of the successive values of each additional graduation, as a function of the position of the first window relative to the successive values of the first graduation.
Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the first and second elements are mounted so as to rotate with respect to each other by means of a rivet.
Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the values of all the graduations are inscribed circularly on the upper face of the second element, which faces the first element, while being centred on the axis of rotation.
Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the values of the first graduation represent the severity of a dermatological disease, and the values of at least one of the additional graduations, referred to as a second graduation, represent a maximum quantity of medicament to be prescribed for such a severity of disease.
Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the medicament is a medicament intended for treating psoriasis.
Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the successive values of at least one of the additional graduations correspond to a quantity in grams corresponding to a treatment of four weeks.
Use of the device according to any one of the preceding claims in order to evaluate the quantity of medicaments necessary for treating a pathology over a given period.
