RESUMEN
El uso profiláctico de antibióticos y antiinflamatorios post cirugía oftálmica es una práctica común. La tobramicina es aminoglicósido con espectro de gram negativos y alguns gram positivos. Ciprofloxacino tiene un mayor espectro.

Objetivo:

Comparar la eficacia y seguridad de la combinación colirio y ungüento de cirpofloxacino/dexametasona versus tobramicina/dexametasona. Pacientes y

métodos:

Se estudio en forma randomizada y doble ciego, 64 pacientes durante 15 días. Se realizaron 3 controles donde se registró agudeza visual, presión intraocular y una escala subjetiva y objetiva.

Resultados:

60 pacientes completaron el estudio. El prurito fue menor en el grupo tratado con ciprofloxacino (0.26 v/s 0.47; p<0,05).

Conclusiones:

El estudio demostró eficacia y seguridad antibiótica equivalente entre ambas combinaciones. Considerando el mayor espectro antibacteriano de ciprofloxacino y la menor incidencia de prurito se plantea que el uso de esta combinación en pacientes post cirugía de catarata entregaría una protección antibiótica segura y con espectro más amplio.
ABSTRACT
The prohylactic use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories drugs is a common practice in ophthalmic surgery. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside with gram negative spectrum, covering some gram positive bacteria. Ciprofloxacin has a broader spectrum of effectivity.

Purpose:

To compare effectiveness and safety of eye drops and ointments of ciprofloxacim/dexamethasone versus tobramysin/dexamethasone combinations. Patients and

methods:

Random and doubled masked study, performed in 64 patients who had cataract surgery. In a 15 days follow up, the effectiveness of both antibiotic combinations were tested. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, objective and subjective scale were performed.

Results:

60 patients (93.4 percent) completed the follow up. Itching presented a significant difference between both groups, being lower in the ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone combination (0.26 vs 0.47. p<0.05).

Conclusions:

The study shows an equivalent effectiveness and safety of both antibiotic combinations. Considering the broader spectrum of ciprofloxacin and the lower frequency of itchness, ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone combination seems to be a good choice for post operative treatment in cataract surgery.
