Table 9 Summary of trial results of TSP vs. HA 0.2%

From: Establishing the tolerability and performance of tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) in treating dry eye syndrome: results of a clinical study

• TSP is effective at concentrations of 0.5% and 1% in treating dry eye syndrome, demonstrated by its effect on tear film break up time, corneal and conjunctival damage and its ability to provide symptom relief over a 90 day period

• TSP 0.5% and 1% show equivalent performance to HA 0.2% with regard to improving tear film break up time

• TSP 1% produced a significantly greater effect compared with HA 0.2% in some patient-scored symptoms
