  • Publication number: 20230285411
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to identify a drug formulation for the treatment or prevention of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, wherein the drug formulation exhibits an effect in patients with drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Sepetaprost is expected to exhibit an excellent intraocular pressure-lowering action in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The drug formulation according to the present invention containing sepetaprost as an active ingredient is therefore useful as a drug formulation that can treat or prevent glaucoma or ocular hypertension in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
