PROPHYLACTIC OR THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR POSTERIOR OCULAR DISEASE COMPRISING ROPINIROLE OR SALT THEREOF AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

Disclosed is a novel prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a posterior ocular disease. Ropinirole or a salt thereof has an excellent anti-angiogenic activity and an excellent inhibitory effect on elevated vascular permeability in a posterior ocular tissue such as a choroid or a retina, and is therefore useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a posterior ocular disease such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.
