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 elevated intraocular pressure associated with administered or endogenous steroids including administering to a mammalian organism a composition including (a) an ophthalmologically effective amount of a non-steroidal cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, to reduce or prevent an elevation of intraocular pressure and/or protein marker induction induced by chronic exposure to glucocorticoids.
