Abstract
Many patients are treated for glaucoma. Like other drugs, anti-glaucoma eye drops may induce dermatological adverse effects. We aim to review the dermatological adverse effects secondary to the active agents in anti-glaucoma eye drops through a literature review. In January 2020, we queried PubMed using the following MeSH terms: glaucoma/drug therapy or glaucoma, open angle/drug therapy cross-referenced with parasympathomimetics/adverse effects or adrenergic agonists/adverse effects or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors/adverse effects or prostaglandins F, synthetic/adverse effects or adrenergic beta antagonists/adverse effects or ophthalmic solutions/adverse effects. The initial search identified 1128 studies, of which 49 were excluded for being in a foreign language, 15 for not involving eye drops, 968 for not focusing on adverse dermatological effects, and 11 for insufficient documentation or redundancy. After adding 38 linked studies, we finally analysed 123 studies. The ocular and periocular dermatological adverse effects of eye drops are contact dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, prostaglandin analogue periorbitopathy, mucous membrane pemphigoid, eyelash depigmentation, skin hypertrichosis, and rare cases of melanoma and skin depigmentation. The reported distant dermatological adverse effects are psoriasis, excessive sweating, lichen planus, alopecia, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, erythroderma, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, nail pigmentation and bullous pemphigoid. Most of the cutaneous adverse effects of anti-glaucoma eye drops are ocular and periocular and induced by prostaglandin analogues. Distant adverse effects are rare and sometimes questionable but should be kept in mind, especially mucous membrane pemphigoid, which could lead to blindness. The role of preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, should also be considered.

Efficacy and safety of tetracyclines for pemphigoid: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Arch Dermatol Res 2021; 314:191-201. [PMID: 33774726 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-021-02216-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2020] [Revised: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tetracyclines for treatment of pemphigoid. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for studies involving pemphigoid patients treated with tetracyclines published in English before 29 February 2020. References of included studies were also screened to widen the scope of the literature search. Data regarding predefined clinical outcomes of 341 patients from 77 studies were extracted and analyzed. A meta-analysis was conducted on the basis of 4 studies including 2 randomized controlled trials and 2 comparative studies. The patients had a mean age of 74.60 ± 13.18 years, 45.4% were males, and 54.6% were females. There were 185 patients with mild-to-moderate and 143 patients with severe disease. The average initial doses were 1.62 ± 0.39 g/day for tetracycline, 0.20 ± 0.01 g/day for doxycycline, and 0.11 ± 0.05 g/day for minocycline. The average time on tetracyclines was 3.74 ± 5.99 months, and 261 (81.3%) patients reported partial or complete remission. Relapses occurred in 72 (28.3%) cases. Adverse effects were experienced by 130 (41.9%) patients. The pooled ORs for short-term effectiveness, relapse, adverse effects, and 1-year survival in patients treated with oral tetracyclines vs. systemic corticosteroids were 0.40 (95% CI, 0.22-0.76), 0.69 (95% CI, 0.44-1.10), 0.47 (95% CI, 0.27-0.82) and 2.02 (95% CI, 1.16-3.50), respectively. Compared to doxycycline and minocycline, tetracycline was significantly associated with better treatment outcomes and fewer adverse effects (p < 0.05). This review revealed tetracyclines' efficacy and safety in pemphigoid treatment and may offer support for clinical use of tetracyclines in pemphigoid.
