Comparison of lodoxamide 0.1% ophthalmic solution and levocabastine 0.05% ophthalmic suspension in vernal keratoconjunctivitis. [2001.04]
PURPOSE: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of lodoxamide 0.1% ophthalmic solution with levocabastine 0.05% ophthalmic suspension, each given four times daily (QID) for three months to patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC)... CONCLUSIONS: Lodoxamide 0.1% and levocabastine 0.05% eye drops, instilled four times daily for three months, were effective, safe and well tolerated by patients with VKC, but lodoxamide was significantly superior to levocabastine.

Contrast of the effect of alomide and sodium cromoglycate in the treatment of allergic eye diseases. [2000.09]
PURPOSE: To observe the clinical effect of alomide and sodium cromoglycate eyedrops in the treatment of atopic conjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis and giant papillary conjunctivitis... CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that alomide is a safe and effective drug in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.

Mechanisms and comparison of anti-allergic efficacy of topical lodoxamide and cromolyn sodium treatment in vernal keratoconjunctivitis. [2000.07]
PURPOSE: To explore the mechanism of action of topical lodoxamide and cromolyn sodium treatment in vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and to compare the efficacy of these drugs to each other... CONCLUSIONS: Clinical superiority of LOS over CSO may be linked to its greater effect on the CD4(+) cells, because CD4(+) cells plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of VKC.

Efficacy of lodoxamide eye drops on tear fluid cytology of patients with vernal conjunctivitis. [1999.06]
A double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of lodoxamide tromethamine 0.1% eyedrops in preventing inflammatory cell accumulation in the tear fluid of patients with vernal conjunctivitis. A 1-week baseline period was followed by 4 weeks of treatment with either lodoxamide tromethamine 0.1% ophthalmic solution or placebo in 30 symptomatic subjects with vernal conjunctivitis...

Comparison of topical 0.05% levocabastine and 0.1% lodoxamide in patients with allergic conjunctivitis. Study Group. [1998.10]
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 0.05% levocabastine eyedrops (H1 receptor blocker given BID + vehicle BID) compared with 0.1% lodoxamide ophthalmic solution (mast-cell stabilizer instilled QID) in reducing ocular signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis... CONCLUSIONS: Levocabastine ophthalmic suspension 0.05% (BID) appears to be as effective and safe as lodoxamide 0.1% (QID) in the management of allergic conjunctivitis.
