CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
ALOMIDE is indicated in the treatment of the ocular signs and symptoms
of
allergic conjunctivitis
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults and children (4 years and above): one or two drops in each eye
four
times a day at regular intervals.
ALOMIDE therapy is dependent upon its administration at regular
intervals,
as directed.
ALOMIDE therapy should not be used for more than 4 weeks without
seeking
medical advice.
Improvements in signs and symptoms in response to ALOMIDE therapy
(decreased discomfort, itching, foreign body sensation, photophobia,
acute
ocular pain, tearing, discharge, erythema/swelling, conjunctival
redness,
limbal reaction, epithelial disease, ptosis) are usually evident
within a few
days, but longer treatment for up to four weeks is sometimes required.
Once
symptomatic improvement has been established, therapy should be
continued
for as long as needed to sustain improvement.
Instillation of eye drops in allergic conjunctivitis may cause
discomfort
initially and that this will decline with improvement of the disease
(see 4.8
Undesirable Effects).
Nasolacrimal occlusion or gently closing the eyelid after
administration is
recommended. This may reduce the systemic absorption of medicinal
products
administered via the ocular route and result in a decrease in systemic
adverse
reactions.
Children less than 4 years: The safety and effectiveness of ALOMIDE in
children below the age of four years have not been established.
Elderly: There are no special precautions to be followed in
prescribing
ALOMIDE for the elderly.
If required, corticosteroids may be used concomitantly with ALOMIDE.
