  • Title: Pilocarpine ocular inserts.
    Author: Bensinger R, Shin DH, Kass MA, Podos SM, Becker B.
    Journal: Invest Ophthalmol; 1976 Dec; 15(12):1008-10. PubMed ID: 992960.
    Abstract:
    Pilocarpine was administered to a selected group of ocular hypertensive subjects in the form of a synthetic biosoluble matrix inserted into the conjunctival cul-de-sac. Satisfactory lowering of the intraocular pressure resulted, with a minimum of subject intolerance. The decreased pressure response was significant in some cases for greater than 24 hours. Drug delivery by soluble inserts offers promise as a convenient and effective mode of therapy.
