title: [Local treatment with diclofenac-Na eyedrops in diseases of the anterior eye segment].
abstract: The nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac-sodium, in the galenic form of an eye drop solution (0.1%), has been tested in an open clinical trial in the following indications: episcleritis (30 patients), limbal corneal ulcer (9 patients), hay-fever conjunctivitis and/or conjunctivitis phlyctaenulosa (11 patients). The result of this clinical trial has shown that diclofenac-sodium eye drop solution fulfills all the requirements of a well-tolerated and effective NSAID. The application of diclofenac-sodium eye drop solution (3-5 times daily) resulted in a clear-cut reduction in the use of eye drops containing steroids and its prominent analgesic effect was impressive. Although a slight, transient burning sensation was noticed by a few patients shortly after instillation, no local or systemic adverse reactions were observed.
