摘要:
Triamcinolone compositions, and methods of using such compositions, useful for injection into the vitreous of human eyes are provided. Such compositions can include triamcinolone particles present in a therapeutically effective amount, a viscosity inducing component, and an aqueous carrier component. The compositions have viscosities of at least about 10 cps or about 100 cps at a shear rate of 0.1/second. In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity is in the range of from about 80,000 cps to about 300,000 cps. The compositions advantageously suspend the triamcinolone particles for prolonged periods of time.

Triamcinolone compositions, and methods of using such compositions, useful for injection into the vitreous of human eyes or into a joint are provided. Such compositions can include triamcinolone particles present in a therapeutically effective amount, a viscosity inducing component, and an aqueous carrier component. The compositions have viscosities of at least about 10 cps or about 100 cps at a shear rate of 0.1/second. In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity is in the range of from about 80,000 cps to about 300,000 cps. In a most preferred embodiment, the viscosity is in the range of from about 140,000 cps to about 280,000 cps t a shear rate of 0.1/second at 25° C. The compositions advantageously suspend the triamcinolone particles for prolonged periods of time.

摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration into the interior of an eye of a person or animal are described. The present compositions include one or more components which are effective in providing a reduced toxicity relative to existing intraocular ophthalmic compositions. The present compositions include one or more therapeutic agents in amounts effective in providing a desired therapeutic effect when placed in an eye, and one or more retinal friendly excipients that have a reduced toxicity relative to benzyl alcohol or polysorbate 80. In certain compositions, the excipient component of the compositions comprises one or more cyclodextrins or cyclodextrin derivatives. Methods of using the compositions to treat ocular conditions are also described.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of reducing an irritating or adverse side effect associated with the topical use of an active ophthalmic drug comprising incorporating an effective amount of a cyclodextrin or cyclodextrin derivative into a formulation to complex the active drug such that the concentration of the free active drug is reduced below a tolerable threshold, and incorporating an effective amount of a viscosity increasing agent in said formulation such that the bioavailability of said drug is high enough to be therapeutically effective, wherein the cyclodextrin or cyclodextrin derivative is not required to solubilize the active drug. Another aspect of this invention relates to topical ophthalmic formulations comprising an active drug, a cyclodextrin or cyclodextrin derivative, and a viscosity-enhancing agent, in effective amounts as stated above.
摘要:
Compositions and methods useful for at least assisting in visualizing vitreous bodies of eyes of humans or animals are provided. Such compositions include a contrast component and a carrier component and are substantially free of any therapeutic agent effective to have pharmacological activity in an eye in which the composition is placed. Methods of using such compositions as visualization devices are also provided.
摘要:
A composition comprising a cyclodextrin, a guanidine-based cationic compound, and sorbic acid is disclosed herein. Preservatives and methods related thereto, and experimental results suggesting certain advantages related to these compositions, preservatives, and methods are also presented herein.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods of delivering drugs or therapeutically active agents to the back of the eye via topical administration of compositions comprising cyclodextrin derivatives. Compositions related thereto are also disclosed herein.
摘要:
The present invention provides for compositions for administering a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic component. The compositions may include an ophthalmically acceptable carrier component; a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic component; and a retention component which may be effective to reduce wettability, induce viscosity, increase muco-adhesion, increase meniscus height on a cornea of an eye and/or increase physical apposition to a cornea of an eye of a composition.
