The invention provides compositions and methods for treating nasal congestion through ophthalmic delivery. The provided compositions and methods utilize low concentrations of selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonists. The compositions preferably include brimonidine.

The present invention is related to the pharmaceutical industry in general and in particular with the pharmaceutical industry of production of ophthalmic compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical industry of production of ophthalmologic compositions for the treating of ocular hypertension. The advantage of the present invention against the present state of the technique is the fulfilling of a synergic effect of its components for the decreasing of ocular hypertension with no antagonistic effect between its components. The present invention consists of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of ocular hypertension characterized by comprising a pharmacologically effective amount of dorzolamide, with a pharmacologically effective amount of timolol and a pharmacologically effective amount of brimonidine.

The invention relates to a method of treating erythema and/or telangiectasia associated with rosacea in a patient in need thereof by topically administering an effective amount of a combination of brimonidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and oxymetazoline or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the site of erythema and/or telangiectasia on the skin of the patient. The invention further relates to topical compositions including the combination of compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Improved methods and compositions for safe and effective treatment of erythema or a symptom associated with erythema in a subject are described. The methods involve topically applying to an affected skin area a topical composition comprising about 0.4% to about 0.6% by weight of brimonidine and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
