It has now been found that tetrahydrocortisol alone, when in solution or in the form of nanoparticles, or a combination of compounds where each affects intraocular pressure by a different mechanism of action is especially valuable for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma, especially in the resistant patient. With such a combination, each compound may be present at a reduced concentration, even to a sub-therapeutic level (i.e., as little as 25% to 50% of the usual therapeutically active dose), thus decreasing or eliminating troublesome side effects while the combined effect on reducing intraocular pressure remains in the therapeutically useful range. |
