Abstract	:	The high rate of morbidity and mortality due to long- term use of corticosteroids in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) warrants us to find a replacement for current treatment strategies. Based on a new theory on the pathophysiology of PV,Cholinomimetics can block the process of blister formation. This study was conducted to evalute the clinical effectiveness of pilocarpine gel in the treatment of skin lesions of PV. In a double blind, placebo controlled study, skin erosions of PV patients were treated by either pilocarpine or placebo gel. After 15 days of treatment, epithelialization index in two groups was compared. The mean of epitheliazation index in skin lesions received pilicarpine was significantly higher than placebo group. Pilocarpine gel is dramatically effective in the treatment of PV..
