Ch 57 LAST TEST Flashcards
types of ocular drugs
antiglaucoma antimicrobial antiinflammatory topical anesthetics diagnostics anti allergens lubricants and moisturizers
Anti-gluacoma drugs
delay or prevent development of glaucoma (increase IOP) by increasing outflow of aq humor or decreasing formation of aq humor.
types of anti glaucoma drugs
miotics: cause pupil constriction
sympatheomimetics: mydriasis (dilation)
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors:
Beta adrenergic blockers
miotic
drugs that cause pupil constriction cause outflow of aq humor
examples of miotic drugs
pilocarpine hydrochloride
adsorbocarpine
Ocusert (slow release)
Sympathomimetics
mimic epinephrine cause mydriasis (dilation) cause outflow of aq humor.
examples of sympathomimetics
Ipinal
Eppy/N
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
decrease formation of aq humor
example of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Diamox
Beta adrenergic blockers
decrease formation of aq humor but with fewer side effects
examples of beta adrenergic blockers
beta optic
timoptic
antimicrobial ophthalmic drugs
topical drugs for ophthalmic infections
examples of antimicrobial ophthalmic drugs
Bacitracin
ciprofloxacin
erythromycin
gentamicin
Anti-inflammatory ophthalmic drugs
used to decrease inflammation due to disease or surgery.
examples of anti-inflammatory ophthalmic drugs
NSAIDS
Corticosteroids
Dexamethasone (decadron); corticosteroid
OCufen:nsaid
Topical anesthetics
alleviate eye pain (also dilate pupils)
example of topical anesthetics
Tetracaine
Diagnostic ophthalmic drug types
cycloplegic mydriatic: causes dilation and prevents accommodation (eye exam)
ophthalmic dye
example of cycloplegic mydriatic drug
Atropine sulfate
example of ophthalmic dye
fluroescein dye
anti-allergy ophthalmic drug types
antihistamines: histamine
mast stabilizers: inflammation of cornea
lubricants and moisturizers: artificial tears
example of antihistamine ophthalmic drugs
Optivar
example of mast stabilizer
cromolyn
