Claims
- 1. A method for treating glaucoma or reducing and/or controlling intraocular pressure comprising administering to a patient in need a therapeutically effective amount of the renin inhibiting compound H-((beta,beta-dimethyl)-beta-Ala)-(4-OCH.sub.3)Phe-His amide of 2(S)-amino-1-cyclohexyl-3(R),4(S)-dihydroxy-6-methylheptane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a steroidal antiinflammatory agent.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the steroidal antiinflammatory agent and the renin inhibiting compound are administered as components of the same composition or the steroidal antiinflammatory agent and the renin inhibiting compound are administered as separate compositions.
- 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a beta-adrenergic antagonist compound.
- 4. A method for treating glaucoma or reducing and/or controlling intraocular pressure comprising administering to a patient in need a therapeutically effective amount of the renin inhibiting compound H-((beta,beta-dimethyl)-beta-Ala)-(4-OCH.sub.3)Phe-His amide of 2(S)-amino-1-cyclohexyl-3(R),4(S)-dihydroxy-6-methylheptane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting compound.
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting compound is selected from captopril and enalapril.
- 6. A composition for treating glaucoma or reducing and/or controlling intraocular pressure comprising a pharmaceutical vehicle suitable for topical ocular administration and a therapeutically effective amount of the renin inhibiting compound H-((beta,beta-dimethyl)-beta-Ala)-(4-OCH.sub.3)Phe-His amide of 2(S)-amino-1-cyclohexyl-3(R),4(S)-dihydroxy-6-methylheptane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a steroidal antiinflammatory agent.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 further comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a beta-adrenergic antagonist compound.
- 8. A composition for treating glaucoma or reducing and/or controlling intraocular pressure comprising a pharmaceutical vehicle suitable for topical ocular administration and a therapeutically effective amount of the renin inhibiting compound H-((beta,beta-dimethyl)-beta-Ala)-(4-OCH.sub.3)Phe-His amide of 2(S)-amino-1-cyclohexyl-3(R),4(S)-dihydroxy-6-methylheptane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting compound.
