SOLUTION: The ophthalmic composition comprises a sulfa drug and berberines. In this case, the sulfa drug is preferably sulfisomidine, sulfisoxazole or sulfamethizole and the berberines are preferably berberine chloride or berberine sulfate or an extract from Phellodendri Cortex or Coptis Rhizome. The formulation ratio of both the sulfa drug and the berberines is preferably (10-10,000):1 of the sulfa drug:berberines expressed in terms of mass ratio. |
