Quality Test of Ketotifen Eye Drops Prepared in Hospital

SCIENTIFIC REPORT Efficacy and safety of ketotifen eye drops in the treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis

Background: Ketotifen blocks histamine H1 receptors, stabilises mast cells, and prevents eosinophil accumulation. These multiple, pharmacological mechanisms provided the rationale for assessing the efficacy and safety of ketotifen 0.025% eye drops in subjects with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) in an environmental setting. Methods: This was a double masked, randomised, multicentre trial...

Provocative test combining water drinking and homatropine eye drops

In a previous study (Leighton, Phillips, and Gibbs, 1970), a provocative outflow test using a combination of water drinking (20 ml./kg. body weight) and gutt. homatropine 2 per cent. in 24 open-angle glaucoma suspects caused a significantly greater fall in outflow facility and rise in outflow resistance than either water drinking alone or homatropine alone (0o02 < P < o0os in each case). When a...

Prescription of eye drops.

The aim of this study was to assess whether patients have their ocular drops correctly prescribed during non-ophthalmic admissions to hospital. A retrospective review of notes of patients who were admitted to hospital for general medical or surgical care, while on regular eye drops at the time of admission was performed. Twenty two patients were on regular ocular medication when admitted. Only ...
