[Rengasil (pirprofen) in the treatment of inflammatory eye diseases]

The paper describes the method and results of using a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory preparation RENGAZYL in a complex treatment of severe forms of ophthalmic herpes-keratitis with ulcerations. Comparative clinical studies included 81 patients divided into 3 groups. The complex treatment used preparations of antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiedematous, hypotensive, desensitizing and vitamin therapy. In group 1 (28 patients) rengazyl in capsules was used, in group 2 (24 patients)--intramuscular injections of rengazyl. In group 3 (29 patients) indometacine in pills was used. The clinical results obtained have shown that rengazyl in a form of intramuscular injections possesses expressed anti-inflammatory action in case of the most severe forms of ophthalmic herpes. Besides this, rengazyl possesses analgetic action that makes it more preferable in treatment of inflammations of the choroid accompanied by a pronounced algesic syndrome.
