OPHTHALMIC OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS CONTAINING PROSTAGLANDINS.

摘要

The present invention refers to an oil-in-water emulsion for ophthalmic application comprising at least one prostaglandin as active agent and a surfactant component comprising a combination of at least two non-ionic surfactants. The emulsion is suitable for medical applications, particularly for the treatment of glaucoma, and has an increased chemical stability of the prostaglandin active agent so to allow long-term storage also at room temperature.
