摘要:
This invention relates to the use of ketanserinol as an ophthalmic therapeutic agent to reduce intraocular pressure and its method of use for treating glaucoma by systemic administration of ketanserinol, it salts, esters or prodrugs to a patient or more particularly, topically administering ketanserinol and salts thereof to the eye of a patient.
摘要:
A composition comprising from about 0.001% to about 0.4% cyclosporin A, a surfactant, and an oil having a specific gravity from 0.8 to 0.95 is disclosed herein.
摘要:
A composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of cyclosporin A, a blend of oils having a specific gravity of from 0.90 to 1.07, and a surfactant is disclosed herein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to method of sustained-delivery of an active drug to a posterior part of an eye of a mammal to treat or prevent a disease or condition affecting said mammal, wherein said disease or condition can be treated or prevented by the action of said active drug upon said posterior part of the eye, comprising administering an effective amount of an ester prodrug of the active drug subconjunctivally or periocularly. Preferably, the active drug is more than about 10 times as active as the prodrug. Other aspects of this invention deal with the treatment of certain diseases by the periocular or subconjunctival delivery of an ester prodrug, and certain pharmaceutical products containing ester prodrugs for periocular or subconjunctival administration.
摘要:
The invention provides ophthalmic compositions preserved using propionic preservative components alone or in combination with at least one additional preservative. In particular, an improvement in anti-microbial activity against bacteria is seen in addition to activity specific to fungal organisms and/or mold.
摘要:
Biodegradable neurotoxin implants and methods of making and using such implants are provided. Biodegradable neurotoxin implants include a neurotoxin, a biodegradable polymer component, and an acidity regulating component. The biodegradable polymer component is effective in controlling the release of the neurotoxin from the implant when the implant is located in a patient's body. The acidity regulating component is effective in maintaining a pH of the implant in a desired range that may be effective in stabilizing the neurotoxin as the implant biodegrades when the implant is located in a patient's body. In one embodiment, an implant includes a botulinum toxin, a biodegradable polymer, and either monomers from which a biodegradable polymer is derived or oligomers including monomeric units substantially identical to a monomer from which a biodegradable polymer is derived, or a combination of such monomers and oligomers. The oligomers and biodegradable polymer may be derived from a single type of monomer. The implants disclosed herein may be administered to a human or animal patient in which a therapeutic effect is desired for prolonged periods of time.
摘要:
Compositions, methods, and pharmaceutical products related to prostaglandin-related compounds and trefoil factor family peptides are disclosed herein. Of particular interest are compositions and methods useful for the treatment of glaucoma with a reduced occurrence of hyperemia.
