- Non-aqueous oil delivery system for ophthalmic drugs
-
The present invention relates to a delivery system for ophthalmic drugs, and more particularly, to a non aqueous oil delivery system. Low concentrations of ophthalmic drugs suspended in an oil vehicle delivery system are as therapeutically effective in man and animals as the corresponding higher concentrations of ophthalmic drugs that are commercially used in aqueous solutions. Eye drops that utilize this nonaqueous oil delivery system, when used in man, are comfortable to use and produce little ocular irritation, have a longer shelf-life, low systemic toxic potential, and only short term blurring of vision. Using this nonaqueous oil delivery system, a single drop of ophthalmic drug with a concentration that is 10 times less than the same drug used in commercially available aqueous eye drops is as effective as the commercially available aqueous ophthalmic eye drops that require many applications to be effective. In addition, utilizing the nonaqueous oil delivery system as eye drops produces no ocular sensation of burning, stinging or excessive tearing that is commonly associated with the commercially available aqueous eye drops. This very dilute ophthalmic drug preparation has a greatly reduced systemic toxicity potential as compared to the commercially used aqueous ophthalmic drops. The vehicle includes castor oil, corn oil, glycerol, mineral oil USP, vegetable oil, white petrolatum USP, and mixtures, there of. The ophthalmic class of drugs includes antimicrobials, miotics, mydriatics, mydriatic-cycloplegics, mydriatic-cycloplegic reversal agents and topical anesthetics.
