[Evaluation of efficacy and safety of sterile solution of lodoxamide in patients with ocular allergy].

Abstract

PURPOSE:

Evaluating the efficiency and safety of Alomide (lodoxamide 01.%) in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. MATERIAL, METHOD: 12 patients have been selected during may-august 1998, in order to be treated with Alomide 4 times daily. The clinical exam of the patient included: general information, history, ocular examination. The ocular status of each patient has been evaluated with a score: the intensity of each symptom and sign has been graded between 1-3.

RESULTS:

In all cases, the use of Alomide induced the improvement of the typical symptoms and signs of the allergic conjunctivitis. No side effect related to the use of the drug has been noted.

CONCLUSION:

Due to its dual action (inhibition of both mast cells and eosinophils), Alomide covers most of the allergic response.
