PREVENTING AND TREATING ELEVATED INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH ADMINISTERED OR ENDOGENOUS STEROIDS USING NON-STEROIDAL CYCLOOXYGENASE INHIBITORS

摘要

Methods and compositions for preventing or treating non-inflammatory elevate d intraocular pressure associated with administered or endogenous steroids including administering to a mammalian organism a compos ition including (a) an ophthalmologically effective amou nt of non-steroidal cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and (b) a pharmaceutically accept able carrier, to reduce or prevent an elevation of intra ocular pressure and/or protein marker induction induced by chronic exposure to gluc ocorticoids.
