Study Notes
Beta Antagonists
- Betaxolol, carteolol, levubunolol, metipranolol, and timolol are beta antagonist medications used to treat glaucoma.
- Side effects include ocular irritation, contraindicated in asthma and COPD due to risk of bronchospasm, and contraindicated in CHF due to risk of bradycardia.
- They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.
Alpha-2 Agonists
- Apraclonidine and brimonidine are alpha-2 agonist medications used to treat glaucoma.
- Side effects include red eye, allergic reactions, malaise, and headache.
- They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humor and increasing outflow.
Cholinergic Agonists
- Pilocarpine and carbachol are cholinergic agonist medications used to treat glaucoma.
- Side effects include pain, increased pain, and increased myopia.
- They work by increasing outflow.
Prostaglandin-like Analogues
- Latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost are prostaglandin-like analogue medications used to treat glaucoma.
- Side effects include pain, iris pigmentation, and excessive eyelashes growth.
- They work by increasing outflow.
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
- Dorzolamide, brinzolamide, acetazolamide, and methazolamide are carbonic anhydrase inhibitor medications used to treat glaucoma.
- Side effects include transient myopia, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and renal stones.
- They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.
