Development of celecoxib eye drop solution and microsuspension: A comparative investigation of binary and ternary cyclodextrin complexes.

The very low aqueous solubility of celecoxib (CCB) hampers its ocular bioavailability. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop topical eye drop formulations containing cyclodextrin (CD) and a biocompatible polymer in an aqueous microsuspension. Aqueous CCB eye drop formulations containing biocompatible carbohydrate nano- and microparticles were prepared and their physicochemical and mucoadhesive properties evaluated.
