Compositions and methods for treating eyes and methods of preparation
Pharmaceutical compositions, methods for treating various issues of the eyes, and methods of preparing such compositions are described. These pharmaceutical compositions may be for treating glaucoma, in preparation of eye surgery, during eye surgery, various post-op care (e.g., after cataract surgery, laser eye surgery, and the like), for treating dry eyes, and/or for promoting eyelash growth. These pharmaceutical compositions may comprise such active ingredients (APIs) as: timolol, latanoprost, brimonidine tartrate, dorzolamide, moxifloxacin HCl, dexamethasone PO4, phenylephrine HCl, lidocaine HCl, ketorolac tromethamine, bromfenac, prednisolone PO4, gatifloxacin, amniotic cytokine extract (ACE), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and combinations thereof.
1. A method for treating an ocular condition of an eye; comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition at, in, or around the eye via a delivery device and per a predetermined dosing regimen, wherein:
the pharmaceutical composition is free of preservatives;
the pharmaceutical composition comprises one of:
(1) phenylephrine HCl 1.5%, lidocaine HCl 1%, and ketorolac tromethamine 0.3%; or
(2) phenylephrine HCl 1.5%, lidocaine HCl 1%, and bromfenac 0.01%;
wherein these percentages are with respect to weight per volume; and
wherein the ocular condition is glaucoma, care after cataract surgery, care after LASIK surgery, care for a retina of the eye after cataract surgery, care for a retina of the eye after retina surgery, in preparation for an intraocular procedure, or during the intraocular procedure.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is an eye dropper or a syringe for intra-cameral injection.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivery device is the eye dropper, wherein the eye dropper is a light resistant bottle.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined dosing regimen is once per day, twice per day, three times per day, once every other day, once per week, once every other week, or once monthly.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises phenylephrine HCl 1.5%, lidocaine HCl 1%, and ketorolac tromethamine 0.3%.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH of 6.5.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises phenylephrine HCl 1.5%, lidocaine HCl 1%, and bromfenac 0.01%.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH of 7.0 to 7.2.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ocular condition is in preparation for the intraocular procedure or during the intraocular procedure.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the intraocular procedure is cataract surgery.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further reduces post-operation infections after the cataract surgery.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further improves the speed of recovery and quality of vision improvement of the cataract surgery.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ocular condition is the care after cataract surgery, the care after LASIK surgery, the care for a retina of the eye after cataract surgery, or the care for a retina of the eye after retina surgery.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method reduces post-operation infections after the cataract surgery, the LASIK surgery, or the retina surgery.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method improves the speed of recovery and quality of vision improvement of the cataract surgery, the LASIK surgery, or the retina surgery.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is stored at room temperature.
17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a beyond-use date of at least 180 days.
