Abstract

Described is a combination of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension, which is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By combining sepetaprost and a Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s), an intraocular pressure lowering action is enhanced as compared with the case where each drug is used alone. As the form of administration, they may be administered concomitantly or may be administered as a combination drug.

Claims (11)

1. A therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension, wherein sepetaprost and a Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered in combination, and wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is at least one selected from the group consisting of netarsudil and a salt thereof, and wherein sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered simultaneously or concomitantly.

2. The therapeutic agent according to claim 1 , which is a combination drug comprising sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s).

3. The therapeutic agent according to claim 1 , wherein sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered at different times or simultaneously.

4. A therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension comprising sepetaprost, which is used concomitantly with a Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s), and wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is at least one selected from the group consisting of netarsudil and a salt thereof.

5. The therapeutic agent according to claim 4 , which is administered at different time from or simultaneously with the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s).

6. The therapeutic agent according to claim 1 , wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is dimesylate or dihydrochloride of netarsudil.

7. A therapeutic method for glaucoma or ocular hypertension comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of sepetaprost and a therapeutically effective amount of a Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) to a subject in need thereof, and wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is at least one selected from the group consisting of netarsudil and a salt thereof, and wherein sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered simultaneously or concomitantly.

8. The therapeutic method for glaucoma or ocular hypertension according to claim 7 , wherein sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered as a combination drug.

9. The therapeutic method for glaucoma or ocular hypertension according to claim 7 , wherein sepetaprost and the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) are administered at different times or simultaneously.

10. The therapeutic method for glaucoma or ocular hypertension according to claim 7 , wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is dimesylate or dihydrochloride of netarsudil.

11. The therapeutic agent according to claim 4 , wherein the Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s) is dimesylate or dihydrochloride of netarsudil.
