  • Title: Beneficial effect of sodium sucrose-sulfate on the ocular surface of patients with severe KCS in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
    Author: Prause JU.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1991 Aug; 69(4):417-21. PubMed ID: 1750307.
    Abstract:
    Sucralfate (aluminium sucrose-sulfate), a well known gastric mucosal protectant, has been tested topically on 22 patients (20 females and 2 males) suffering from primary Sjögren's syndrome. Median treatment period was 6 months (range 1-19 months). Statistically significant improvement in the ocular surface condition was found judged from the reduction in Rose-Bengal score (P less than or equal to 0.00005). The beneficial effect appeared within the first 1-4 months of treatment. No adverse side effects were encountered.
