20080199524Eyedrops containing particulate agar - It is intended to prepare a composition which contains polysaccharide at a high concentration and yet remains in the state of a liquid having low viscosity to thereby provide drugs, eyedrops, foods, cosmetics, toiletry products having a novel texture or function. The composition in the state of a liquid having low viscosity is obtained by heating polysaccharide at a high concentration in a water-containing liquid and then cooling under applying a shear force, which enables the provision of the above-described drugs. The composition is usable as an aqueous drug vehicle which is free from gelling due to temperature changes during storage and easily applied without pouring and/or streaming down. Eyedrops containing agar have an effect of enhancing ocular drug penetration. Eyedrops containing particulate agar maintain a low viscosity and, achieve easy instillation and impart a favorable feel in instillation.08-21-2008
