Compounded Fluticasone useful in Eosinophilic esophagitis, finds study
In a recently published study in Diseases of the Esophagus,researchers have highlighted that Compounded fluticasone should be considered as an EoE management option.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has a spectrum of presenting symptoms, including feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, vomiting, epigastric and chest pain, dysphagia and food impactions. Clinical experience and increasing evidence suggests that these symptoms may develop chronologically. Treatment options available for patients with EoE include dietary management and/or pharmacologic therapy. An individualized approach to treatment is preferred, with an emphasis on patient–parental preference.
To date,No approved medication exists for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the United States, which forces patients to utilize off-label drugs and/or create their own formulations.
Therefore, researchers assessed the efficacy of a standardized compounded fluticasone suspension. To do this, they performed a retrospective cohort study identifying all EoE patients treated with compounded fluticasone. Compounded fluticasone was prescribed during routine clinical care and dispensed by a specialty compounding pharmacy.
