Dr. Stephen V. Scoper, MD: ToberDexⓇST Guest Lecturer in Long Island, New York.
This past Thursday, February the 16th, 2012, Dr. Stephen Scoper was a guest lecturer at a Physician’s meeting in Long Island, New York that discussed therapeutic strategies for blepharitis. Dr. Stephen Scoper discussed his experience in both diagnosing and treating interior and posterior blepharitis.
A majority of the lecture revolved around the scientific paper entitled: Ocular Distribution, Bactericidal Activity and Settling Characteristics of TobraDexⓇST Ophthalmic Suspension Compared with TobraDexⓇ Ophthalmic Suspension. Dr. Scoper was the lead author of this publishing that was responsible for gaining FDA approval for TobraDexⓇST.
Dr. Stephen Scoper walked the other Physicians through the details of the paper with the following conclusions:
- Suspension settling characteristics of ToberDexⓇST are outstanding, resulting in dose uniformity, because of the Xanthan gun vehicle with more bioavailbility.
- In-Vitro studies showed improved bactericidal activity leading to longer retention time and faster bacterial eradication.
- Human pharmacokinetic clinical studies showed equivalent concentrations of drug in the aqueous, despite ToberDexST having only half the dexamethasone.
In conclusion, these finding show that ToberDexⓇST is an excellent treatment for acute blepharitis.
