Abstract:
Drug delivery film compositions containing a combination of a water-soluble, film-forming polymers and a fatty acid glyceride or ester are suitable for delivering ophthalmic drugs.
Abstract:
Topical aqueous suspension compositions of sparingly soluble ophthalmic drugs are disclosed. The compositions comprise a combination of a poloxamine nonionic surfactant and a glycol tonicity-adjusting agent such as propylene glycol.
Abstract:
Methods for treating post-surgical formation of cataracts or posterior capsule opacification are disclosed. The methods utilize compositions containing certain compounds having an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant moiety covalently linked by and amide and ester bond.
Abstract:
Improved glaucoma filtration device materials comprise at least one monomer having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: X is H or CH.sub.3 ;m is 0-10;Y is nothing, O, or S;R is nothing, H, or an aliphatic, aromatic or aliphatic/aromatic combination of up to twelve carbon atoms, which can be unsubstituted or substituted with Cl, F, Br, or an alkoxy of up to four carbon atoms; anda cross-linking monomer having two or more ethylenically unsaturated groups.
Abstract:
Compounds having anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity are disclosed. The compounds are useful in preventing and treating inflammatory disorders through several mechanisms. Methods of treatment employing these properties of the compounds and corresponding pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed.
Abstract:
