Abstract
- The efficacy of topical sodium cromolycate and medrysone was evaluated in 38 patients suffering from atopic keratoconjunctivitis. It was found that medrysone (1%) signifmntly improved the symptoms of itching, watering. photophobia and hyperaemia, while sodium cromoglycate (2%) was found to be ineffective. Tear prostaglandin E<subscript>2</subscript> and histamine levels did not decrease significantly after sodium cromoglycate therapy. The findings of the present study reveal that sodium cromoglycate has no significant role in the management of atopic keratoconjunctivitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
