Alpha 2 agonist;
Indication; MOA; |
Alphagan (brimonidine
Iopidine (praclonidine Open Angle Ocular HTN decreases fluid production, increases drainage. |
|
Beta Blockers;
Indication; MOA; |
Betagan (levobunolol)
Betoptic (betaxolol) Betimol (timolol hemihydrate) Timoptic (timolol) Optiphenolol (metipranolol) Ocupress(carteolol) Glaucoma (not used alone in angle closure) Ocular HTN Blocks beta 1 & 2 adrenergic receptors, drecreases production of intraocular fluid. |
|
Prostaglandins;
Indication; MOA; |
(hormone derived med)
Xalatan (lantanoprost) Lumigan (bimatoprost) Travatan (travosprost) Open angle glaucoma Ocular HTN Causes fluid to out of eyeball, decreases IOP |
|
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors drops;
Indication; MOA; |
Trusopt (dorzolamide)
Azopt (brinzolamide) Daranide (dichlorphenamide) Open angle glaucoma Ocular HTN Inhibits carbonic anhydrase, increases electrolyte/water excretion, drecreses production of fluid |
|
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors PO;
Indication; MOA; |
Diamox Sequels (acetazolamide)
Open angle glaucoma Acute angle closure Works on carbonic anhydrase in kidneys, excretion of electrolytes & water. |
|
Combo Drugs;
Indication; |
Combigan (brimonidine & timolol)
Cosopt (dorzolamide & timolol) Duotrav (travaprost & timolol) Open Angle |
|
Miotics
Cholinergic Agonist; Indication; MOA; |
Isopto (carbechol)
Isoptocarpine (pilocarpine) Chronic simple glaucoma Angle closure glaucoma Causes Miosis (makes pupil smaller, decreases amt of fluid entering eye) Decreased IOP |
|
Miotics
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors; Indication; MOA; |
Phospholine (echothiophate)
Open angle glaucoma Inhibits cholinesterase which causes miosis (makes pupil smaller, decreases amt of fluid entering eye) Decreased IOP |
|
Alpha beta agonist;
Indications; MOA; |
Dipivefrin (propine)
Open angle glaucoma Ocular HTN Prodrug of epinephrine Stimulates alpha/beta receptors. Causes mydriasis (pupil to open which increases outflow) |
|
Mydriatics;
Indications; MOA; |
Cyclomydril (cyclopentolate/phenylephrine)
Wide angle glaucoma Blocks cholinergic stimulation Causes mydriasis (pupil to open which increases outflow) |
