We evaluated the efficacy of ophthalmic solution of 0.1% pranoprofen, a prostaglandin inhibitor, in preventing recurrence after discontinuation of topi-cal corticosteroid in uveitis. Pranoprofen was in-stilled 4 times daily for 2 to 4 weeks immediately after withdrawal of corticosteroid in 18 patients either with chronic uveitis or with acute anterior uveitis. The treatment was judged as very effective in 2, effective in 14, fairly effective in 1 and equivo-cal in 1. There was no flare-up of anterior uveitis during the period of observation. The rate of effec-tiveness was, therefore, 16 out of 18 cases or 89%. Our findings seem to indicate that the duration of topical corticosteroid therapy can be shortened by early discontinuation and substitution by prano-profen ophthalmic solution.
