USPTO Abstract

Pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of ophthalmic inflammation and methods of treating ophthalmic inflammation with those compositions ar disclosed. The compositions contain a combination of a glucocorticoid and an angiostatic steroid. The angiostatic steroid substantially prevents any significant increases in intraocular pressure which might otherwise be experienced by the patient as a side effect of the glucocorticoid component of the compositions. The therapeutic interaction of the two components therefore allows the potent anti-inflammatory properties of the glucocorticoids to be utilized without fear of elevating intraocular pressure.
