In the original study in the UK, [1] one FTU weighed 0.49 g in men and 0.43 g in women. The area covered by one FTU was 312 cm 2 in men and 257 cm 2 in women. [2] Very similar results were found in a Mexico study. [5] The weight of an FTU has been recalculated in Japan, relating to the use of 5 g tubes of ointment with a much smaller nozzle ...
