  • Publication number: 20100323978
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a delivery system for ophthalmic drugs, and more particularly, to a non aqueous oil delivery system. Low concentrations of ophthalmic drugs suspended in an oil vehicle delivery system are as therapeutically effective in man and animals as the corresponding higher concentrations of ophthalmic drugs that are commercially used in aqueous solutions. Eye drops that utilize this nonaqueous oil delivery system, when used in man, are comfortable to use and produce little ocular irritation, have a longer shelf-life, low systemic toxic potential, and only short term blurring of vision. Using this nonaqueous oil delivery system, a single drop of ophthalmic drug with a concentration that is 10 times less than the same drug used in commercially available aqueous eye drops is as effective as the commercially available aqueous ophthalmic eye drops that require many applications to be effective.
