Treatment for corneal epithelial disease is typically started with 1% trifluridine ophthalmic drops every 2 hours, not to exceed nine times a day.Trifluridine is the drug of choice in the United States because it is the only commercially available topical ophthalmic antiviral. [Pg.529]

The topical ophthalmic antiviral preparations appear to interfere with viral reproduction by altering DNA synthesis. Trifluridine is effective treatment for herpes simplex infections of the conjunctiva and cornea. Ganciclovir is indicated for use in immunocompromised patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis and for prevention of CMV retinitis in transplant patients. Foscarnet is indicated for use only in AIDS patients with CMV retinitis. [Pg.2110]

Trifluridine is administered as a topical ophthalmic solution for the treatment of primary keratoconjunctivitis and recurrent keratitis due to HSV-1 or HSV-2. It is not effective in the prophylaxis of these infections however, it is effective in treating patients who were unresponsive or intolerant to topical idoxuridine or vidarabine. [Pg.574]

The use of topical ophthalmic antiviral agents such as idoxuridine and adenine arabinoside generally has been found to be ineffective in the treatment of EKC. However, 1% trifluridine has been shown to decrease replication of adenovirus types 8,13, and 19 in vitro, though no strong evidence exists for its use in EKC patients. [Pg.527]

Within 2 weeks of using 1% trifluridine solution, 97% of cases resolve. Although drug-resistant HSV is rare, it is possible and should be considered if there is no improvement within the first few days. If there is no improvement or an adverse reaction occurs, use of a different antiviral is indicated. Acyclovir 3% ointment, although not commercially available for ophthalmic use in the United States, has been shown to be effective and well tolerated... [Pg.529]
