Abstract:
Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising tobramycin and a steroid such as dexamethasone or fluorometholone for topical ophthalmic delivery and a method of treatment comprising administering said composition when indicated for infection and control of inflammatory response for optimal wound healing and normalization of the eye of a human or animal.
Abstract:
A method of enhancing insulin sensitivity in mammals (e.g. humans) is described. The method is based on the use of aldose reductase inhibitors to restore and preserve intracellular reduced glutathione levels, thereby enhancing the formation of insulin receptor-mixed disulfide bonds.
Abstract:
6-méthylthio et 6-méthylsulfinyl spiro-chromanimidazolidine diones sont utiles pour traiter les complications dues au diabète sucré. L'activité des composés est surprenante lorsque l'on compare la grandeur des substituants en position 6 par rapport aux composés de l'art antérieur.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the quaternary ammonium salt, alpha -4-[-tris (2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride-2-butenyl] poly[1-dimethyl ammonium chloride-2-butenyl]-w-tris (2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride, providing aqueous disinfecting solutions for contact lenses as well as a preservative for ocular solutions including contact lens treating solutions.
Abstract:
The use of low molecular weight amino alcohols in ophthalmic compositions is described. These compounds have been found to enhance the efficacy of anti-microbial preservatives. Particularly preferred amino alcohols are 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanediol (DMAMP), 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPD), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD), and 2-amino-1-butanol (AB). The ophthalmic compositions further optionally comprise a borate/polyol buffer system and an alkylamine.
Abstract:
Ophthalmic suspensions containing brinzolamide or brinzolamide and a beta-blocker and processes for manufacturing the suspensions are disclosed. The use of Tyloxapol or Triton X-100 avoids chrystallization of brinzolamide after autoclaving.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for treating persons suffering from glaucoma or ocular hypertension are disclosed. In particular, the persons are treated with prostaglandins and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors to control their intraocular pressure.
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compositions useful in ophthalmic surgery are described. The compositions include one or more polyamine antagonists, and are useful for preventing or treating excitotoxicity associated with ophthalmic surgery. Methods of using the compositions in connection with ophthalmic surgical procedures are also described.
