Provided are compositions that are easy to inject into the posterior eye of a human or animal, and methods of using such compositions. Such compositions comprise corticosteroid component-containing particles, thickener components and aqueous carrier components present in therapeutically effective amounts. The composition has a viscosity of at least about 10 cps or about 100 cps at 0.1 / second shear rate. In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity ranges from about 140,000 cps to about 300,000 cps. This composition is advantageous because the particles remain suspended for a long time. |
