Allergic conjunctivitis associated with seasonal or perennial allergy is an increasingly prevalent complaint. Patients seeking professional evaluation for symptoms of ocular allergy usually have exhausted over-the-counter options and expect rapid, effective relief from the treatment prescribed. With the introduction of Bepreve® (bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution) 1.5%, a survey of US doctors was conducted to evaluate their opinions and impressions of the medication following the initial patient trial. Responses from 427 practitioners, representing a total of 7,340 patient experiences, suggest that Bepreve is a rapidly effective and comfortable treatment. Nearly all respondents reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the performance of Bepreve. These survey data from the office setting are consistent with clinical trial results demonstrating that Bepreve provides rapid, durable, and comfortable relief of ocular itch.

A new analysis of pivotal trial data and a variety of additional studies completed since US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval are broadening our understanding of the clinical utility of BEPREVE® (bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution) 1.5 % in the treatment of ocular itch associated with allergic conjunctivitis. These results include evidence of a durable therapeutic response of up to 16 hours following a single dose, a comfort profile comparable or superior to other drugs in the class, and robust efficacy against ocular itching and redness in an environmental exposure study model that simulates the patient experience of ocular allergy.

Introduction: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a polymer, is in demand due to its usage in different applications such as pharmaceutical, biomedical and textile, paper, food industries. Methods: A new sensitive reversed phased high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with refractive index detector (RID) was developed for determination of PVA in an ophthalmic solution containing dexpanthenol and PVA as active substances and it was validated according to The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guideline. Results: Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Chiral-AGP (150 mm × 4.0 mm, 5 μm) column kept at 30°C with an isocratic flow at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detector temperature was 30°C, the retention time of PVA was around 1.0 min and the total run time was 5 minutes. Conclusion: The proposed method showed linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness, solution stability, and system suitability results within the acceptance criteria.

AbstractIntraocular surgery is associated with increased ocular inflammation. If maintained for a prolonged period after surgery, this inflammation can cause various complications, including subconjunctival fibrosis and bleb scarring. This clinical trial was a prospective, randomised, single-blind, interventional study comparing the efficacy and safety of 0.1% bromfenac sodium ophthalmic solution and 0.02% fluorometholone ophthalmic suspension in the inhibition of multiple inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous humour of 26 patients with pseudophakic eyes who had undergone phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. The patients were randomly assigned to one of the trial drugs, and aqueous humour samples were collected before and after drug administration. Platelet-derived growth factor-AA levels significantly decreased in both drug groups, but they were significantly higher in the fluorometholone group than in the bromfenac group (P = 0.034). Bromfenac also significantly decreased vascular endothelial growth factor level (P = 0.0077), as well as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 level (P = 0.013), which was elevated for a prolonged period after phacoemulsification. These data suggest that bromfenac is useful to alleviate prolonged microenvironmental alterations in the aqueous humour of pseudophakic eyes.
