[Indosol--a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with therapeutic efficacy].

For the topical employing of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, some technological problems are to be solved. These were accomplished by the authors by preparing Indosol [indomethacin-TRIS (tromethamine) salt]. pH and osmotic pressure of Indosol eye-drops are similar to that of the tear fluid. The Indosol eye-drops have a great therapeutic efficacy. Indosol eye-drops do not alter tear film break up time (BUT) and do not inhibit reepithelization of the cornea. Indosol eye-drops proved to be useful in the treatment of the anterior segment and the uvea. The most important use is the pre- and post-treatment in intraocular surgery. Indosol eye-drops contribute to the safety of lens-extraction and lens implantation. The great bioavailability was also shown by the high indomethacin level of the aqueous humor after instillation Indosol eye-drops. It does not cause any deleterious side-effects even in long term treatments.
