A prospective right–left comparative study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of combination of NB-UVB and topical bimatoprost 0.03% eye drops versus NB-UVB given alone in patients of vitiligo vulgaris

Abstract

The treatment of vitiligo has been a tough challenge for dermatologists. Phototherapy, apart from being first line monotherapy,1 has also been used in combination with topical therapies like corticosteroids, khellin, phenylalanine, calcineurin inhibitors etc, with the aim of hastening and enhancing repigmentation and reducing side-effects.2,3 Recent reports have highlighted darkening of iris, and eyelash and periocular hyperpigmentation induced by latanoprost (prostaglandin F2α analogue) used for treatment of glaucoma.4 Extrapolating these findings in treatment of vitiligo, we assessed the outcome of NB- UVB and topical bimatoprost 0.03% combination versus NB-UVB alone in a prospective right–left comparative study.
