摘要

Disclosed is an optimal dosing regimen for forskolin to ensure the most optimal pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic responses desired in the therapeutic management of open angle glaucoma. The optimal dosing regimen involves the ocular application of 2% forskolin solubilized using randomly-methylated beta-cyclodextrins one drop once a day to patients requiring therapy for open angle glaucoma. Also disclosed are methods of promoting patient compliance, in particular geriatric and pediatric patient compliance during the therapeutic management of glaucoma using an optimal dosing regimen for forskolin to ensure the best pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic effects, devoid of systemic side-effects encountered with the currently used beta-blockers or prostaglandins.
