    摘要: Pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of ophthalmic inflammation and methods of treating ophthalmic inflammation with those compositions are disclosed. The compositions contain a combination of a glucocorticoid and tetrahydrocortisol. The tetrahydrocortisol serves to substantially prevent any significant increases in intraocular pressure which might otherwise be experienced by the patient as a side effect of the glucocorticoid component of the compositions. The therapeutic interaction of the two components therefore allows the potent antiinflammatory properties of the glucocorticoids to be utilized without fear of elevating intraocular pressure. A method of preventing increases in intraocular pressure attributable to systemic or topical corticosteroid therapy is also disclosed. That method involves the administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing tetrahydrocortisol to a patient receiving such therapy.
