Alpha Agonist
Epinphine (all) Brimonidine (a2) |
Mech:
Epinephrine Decrease in aqueous humor synthesis via vasoconstriction Brimodine decrease aq synthesis Use: Open angle Glaucoma only Tox: Mydrasis and blurred vision |
|
|
Beta Blocker:
Timolol, Betaxlol, Catelol |
MecH: Decrease in Aq humor synthesis
Use: Tox: No changes |
|
|
Diuretics: Acetazolaminde
|
Mech: inhibit carbonic anhydrase hence no humorous humor synthesis
Tox: no change |
|
|
Cholimetics:
Direct: Pilocarpine and Carbachol |
MecH: bind to M3 which allows the iris to constrict and the ciliary muscle to convex the lens *near sight*, hence opening the trabeclar network = more drainage = decrease in pressure
Use: Pilocarpine specifiicaly is used in ER Tox: Miosis and cyclospam |
|
|
Cholimetics:
Indirect: Physostigmine, Echothiophate |
Mech: bind to M3 allowing the iris to constirct and the ciliary muscle to convex the lens (near vision) = opening the trabecular network = increase drainage.
Tox: misosi and cyclospam |
|
|
