  • Publication number: 20120065228
    Abstract: A composition for treating, controlling, reducing, or ameliorating inflammatory pain comprises a dissociated glucocorticoid receptor agonist (“DIGRA”), a prodrug thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester thereof. The composition can comprise an additional anti-inflammatory agent and can be formulated for topical application, injection, or implantation. It may be used in a method of managing ocular inflammation and/or pain such that it has lower risk of eliciting increased intraocular pressure seen with glucocorticoids.

  • Publication number: 20100036387
    Abstract: A method of protecting tissue from trauma during a surgical procedure, the method comprising the step of coating at least a portion of the tissue with a viscoelastic composition comprising: a mixture of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, wherein the concentration of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof is a minimum of about 0.1% w/v and a maximum of about 6% w/v and the concentration of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a minimum of about 0.05% w/v and a maximum of about 5% w/v, based upon the total volume of the viscoelastic composition; tris[hydroxymethyl]aminomethane at a maximum of about 50 mM and a minimum of about 0.1 mM based upon the total weight of the viscoelastic composition; and a hexahydric alcohol.

  • Publication number: 20050215516
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a viscoelastic composition comprising an aqueous solution having a minimum of about 0.01% w/v and a maximum of about 20% w/v of a viscoelastic polymer based upon the total volume of the viscoelastic composition. Typically, the viscoelastic composition further contains tris[hydroxymethyl]aminomethane and a polyol (for example sorbitol). The present invention also includes methods of use of the new viscoelastic composition and a packaging device.
