Diamox AKA
Acetazolamide
CI for beta blockers
Heart + lung problems
- raynauds
- pregnancy
- Myesthenia gravis
- hypotension
Vyzulva AKA, MOA
Latanoprostene bunod
Bisarta
Prostaglandin-> it increases US outflow by donating NO in the smooth TM muscle
Activates cGMP signaling
Glaucoma drug most likely to cause allergy
Apraclonidine -Iopidine (alpha 2 agonist)
Main side effects of CAIs
Bitter taste Stinging Hyperemia Corneal endothelium Aplastic anemia Bone marrow Kidney stones Electrolyte Metabolic acidosis Paresthesia
Drug that doesn’t decrease AH production
Pilocarpine
Side effects of Beta blocker
Bradycardia Bronchoconstriction Corneal hypoesthesia Low BP Tachyphylaxis
POAG patient who is allergic to BAK what do you use?
Zioptan/ tafluprost
Tavatan/travoprost
Xelpros
Med not used w herpes
Prostaglandins
Prostaglandins drug causes lash growth
Bimatoprost/ Lumigan
Xalatan AKA has to be used cautiously on pts w the following
Latanoprost Iritis- inflammation ME Aphakia, torn lens capsule HSK Renal/ hepatic problems
Pt having angle closure attack, whats a poor treatment choice
Acetazolamide
Prostaglandin ocular side effects
Droopy eyelids, sunken eyes, itching, pigmentation changes, lash growth
Alpha agonist ocular side effects

Mast cell stab names
Cromolyn (crolom)
Lodoxamide (alarmast) and nedocromil (alocril)
Topical anesthetic injectable are used w epinephrine
To increase duration by preventing systemic absorption and decrease bleeding
Not an adverse effect of antihistamines

BB A2 agonist CAIs RhoKinase Trabedenoson (a1)
Drugs that decrease AH production
Timolol, Betaxolol, levobunolol, cartelol (Topical Beta bLoCkers)
Apraclonidine, Brimonidine (alpha 2 selective)
Acetalazolamide, brinzolamide, dorzolamide ( CAIs)
Drugs that increase US outflow
