摘要: PURPOSE: To compare the intraocular pressure)–lowering effect and side effects of latanoprost 0.005% once daily with unoprostone 0.12% twice daily. METHODS: Sixty patients primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were randomized to receive either in evening placebo morning, morning evening. The study was double masked followed a crossover design two treatment periods 1 month separated by 3-week washout period. pressure measured at 9 am 5 pm on baseline day 28 visits, 2 14 visits each measurement taken hours 13 after last drop latanoprost, 10 21 hours, respectively. mean measurements calculated. Safety parameters also recorded. RESULTS: Fifty-six completed both had data available for evaluation. After treatment, significantly reduced (mean ± SEM) 6.1 0.5 mm Hg (P < .001) 4.2 0.4 adjusted from an overall 22.3 23.2 Hg, difference 1.9 between treatments statistically significant favor [P = .003, analysis covariance (ANCOVA)]. Unadjusted responders using percentage decrease showed that proportion latanoprost-treated group greater than unoprostone-treated group. Adverse symptoms findings mild groups. Eye redness irritation most frequently reported events. CONCLUSIONS: Latanoprost more effective reducing compared hypertension. Both drugs well tolerated few adverse events.
