Efficacy and safety of iodized lecithin tablets versus spironolactone in alleviating central serous retinopathy among Chinese patients with uncontrolled diabetes.
Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 2023 March
To compare the effectiveness and safety of spironolactone versus lecithin-bound iodine in patients with central serous retinopathy (CSR). Chinese diabetes patients aged>18 years with CSR with persistent increased level of subretinal fluid (SRF) were enrolled. Subjects were randomized to receive either oral lecithin-bound iodine (390µg/kg/day) or oral spironolactone (50mg/day) for 6 months. A total of 200 patients were randomized and completed the study. Compared to spironolactone group, patients treated with lecithin-bound iodine had greater proportion of eye with complete resolution (87% vs 81%, p>0.005). Higher improvement in height of SRF was observed in lecithin-bound iodine-treated patients as compared with Spironolactone-treated patients (91.2[87.5] vs 142.5 [121.1]; p>0.005). However, no statistically significant difference was observed on none of comparisons. Compared to Spironolactone, the patients treated with lecithin-bound iodine had greater improvement in lesion size, central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity. However, no statistically significant difference was observed in any of parameter assessed. (p>0.005). The results of the present study suggested that the lecithin-bound iodine was found more effective (nnumerically) than spironolactone in Chinese diabetes patients with CSR.
