Reduction of cyclosporine dosage with ketoconazole in a patient with birdshot retinochoroidopathy.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 1998 January
PURPOSE: To report the successful reduction of cyclosporine dosage with adjunctive ketoconazole in a patient with birdshot retinochoriodopathy.
METHOD: Case report.
RESULTS: A 55-year-old woman treated with cyclosporine for birdshot retinochoroidopathy had ketoconazole (200 mg/day) added to her medical regimen. Her cyclosporine dosage was reduced to 40 mg per day from 200 mg per day, an 80% reduction. No toxic effect was observed during 12 months of follow-up nor was there progression of the birdshot retinochoroidopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: Cyclosporine dosage may be reduced considerably in patients with uveitis who use adjunctive ketoconazole. The regimen appears to be safe and efficacious.
