Abstract: An ophthalmic composition comprising Prazosin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a topically administrable ophthalmic pharmaceutical carrier. The foregoing composition is useful in lowering intraocular pressure in the eye. Reduction of intraocular pressure is of particular importance in the treatment of glaucoma, a disease characterized by elevated intraocular pressure.

Abstract: A method of stabilizing an aqueous, peroxide containing composition and the resulting stabilized composition. Preferably, EDTA and a magnesium salt are also included in the stabilized composition.

Abstract: An ophthalmic composition comprising a compound having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein X is selected from the group consisting of CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2, CH.sub.2 and OCH.sub.2 ; and Y is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, P-methoxy phenyl and O-methoxy phenyl and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a topically administrable ophthalmic pharmaceutical carrier. The foregoing composition is useful in lowering intraocular pressure in the eye. Reduction of intraocular pressure is of particular importance in the treatment of glaucoma, a disease characterized by elevated intraocular pressure.

Abstract: A composition useful in sterilizing soft contact lenses comprising an effective non-toxic amount of a quaternary ammonium compound, such as alkyl (tallow) triethanol ammonium chloride, and an effective detoxifying amount of a polymer such as water soluble polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters such as Polysorbate 80, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyoxyethylene alcohols such as polyoxyethylene (20) cetyl ether and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A composition and method for treating psoriasis in humans comprising the topical administration to a human suffering from psoriasis of an effective dose for treating psoriasis of a composition comprising from about 0.01 to about 5% of a corticosteroid and preferably a halogenated corticosteroid and from about 0.05 to about 10% of 5-fluorouracil together with a suitable topical carrier.

Abstract: An aqueous, substantially isotonic cleaning and sterilizing solution for plastic hydrophilic soft contact lenses containing as an active ingredient, a compound having the structural formula of ##SPC1##Wherein y is 0 or 1, z is 0 or 1, n is from 0-3, m is from 0-3 and x is H or Cl, providing that n and m are not both O. The foregoing sterilizing solution is non-toxic to the eye of the wearer of the soft contact lens. In the presence of an effective amount of a protein reacting compound, the build-up of proteinaceous deposits on the surface of the soft contact lens is also prevented or inhibited.
