A comparative study of the side effects between pseudoephedrine in Loratadine plus Pseudoephedrine Sulfate Repetabs Tables and loratadine + pseudoephedrine tablet in treatment of allergic rhinitis in Thai patients.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the adverse reactions of Loratadine plus Pseudoephedrine Sulfate Repetabs Tables (LTD+PSE Repetabs) (Loratadine 5 mg + Pseudoephedrine 120 mg) twice daily with that of loratadine (5 mg) twice daily and pseudoephedrine (60 mg) quarter daily in the treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis. The study was designed as an investigator-blind, parallel group study. In this study, 56 patients were equally separated into 2 groups and treated for 14 days with either LTD+PSE Repetabs or loratadine + pseudoephedrine tablet.

Nasolacrimal duct injury from microscopic sinus surgery: preliminary report.

Nasolacrimal duct injury is a well established complication of functional endoscopic sinus surgery. In 1992, Bolger reported an incidence of nasolacrimal duct injuries in endoscopic sinus surgery of up to 15 per cent, but there is no documentation in microscopic sinus surgery. Fluorescein instillation into the lacrimal system via the punctum was done to determine the incidence of nasolacrimal duct injuries in 16 patients who underwent 32 microscopic sinus procedures.

A non-comparative trial of the efficacy and safety of fexofenadine for treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis.

An open-label, non-comparative study was performed in three Otolaryngology centers in Bangkok, Thailand, to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fexofenadine in Thai patients with perennial allergic rhinitis. Altogether 101 perennial allergic rhinitis patients were included, 33 males and 68 females. Mean age was 33 years, average duration of symptoms was 6 years.

The treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media and otitis externa with 0.3 per cent ofloxacin otic solution: a clinico-microbiological study.

.3 per cent ofloxacin solution has been studied widely and has been proved to be safe in both animal and human studies. Ototoxicity and hair cell damage were not found in animal experiments.
