摘要

ANTIMICROBIAL OPHTHALMIC SOLUTIONS CONTAINING DODECYL-DIMETHYL- (2-PHENOXYETHYL)-AMMONIUM BROMIDE AND METHODS OE USING THE SAME The invention relates to the use of dodecyl-dimethyl- (2-phenoxyethyl)-ammonium bromide as an antimicrobial agent to be a preservative for ophthalmic drug solutions, in disinfecting solutions, as well as in preservatives for aqueous ocular solutions for contact lenses. Dodecyl-dimethyl-(2-phenoxyethyl)-ammonium bromide can also be employed as a component in a preserved cleaner for contact lenses, as a component of a conditioning solution for contact lenses as well as in an ophthalmic drug solution.
