<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excellent drug delivery system to a posterior segment of eyeball by subconjunctival administering. <P>SOLUTION: The drug delivery system to a posterior segment of eyeball by subconjunctivally administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a drug and a vehicle, and forming a depot by the vehicle, and the drug is gradually released from the depot to enable an effective concentration of the drug to be maintained. The pharmaceutical composition comprises the vehicle gelling subconjunctivally, and the drug suspended in the vehicle. The vehicle is in the form of solution when administered and after administered in the form of gel subconjunctivally, by comprising (i) a vehicle in a gelled state in administering by containing a gelled macromolecule, (ii) a thermosensitively gelling macromolecule, an ion-sensitively gelling macromolecule or a pH-sensitively gelling macromolecule. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
