Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the formulation of ectoparasiticidal and antibiotic compositions into topical pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of eyelid inflammation, in particular demodex related blepharitis and eyelid crusting. This invention also relates to a topical pharmaceutical composition suitable for the treatment of mammalian ectoparasites.DESCRIPTION OF BACKGROUND AND / OR RELATED AND / OR PRIOR ART

[0002] Blepharitis represents one of the most common anterior segment disorders encountered in ophthalmology. Blepharitis produces a red-rimmed appearance at the margins of the eyelids. It affects both the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharitis tends to recur and can become chronic.
