Q

Glaucoma drugs and mechanisms of action

  1. Dichlorphenamide
  2. Timolol
  3. Mannitol
  4. Pilocarpine
A
  1. Dichlorphenamide: Decreases aqueous production by blocking ciliary carboic anhydrase
  2. Timolol: decreases aqueous production by blocking adrenergic stimulation
  3. Mannitol: increases plasma osmotic pressure and dehydrates the vitrous
  4. Pilocarpine: Enhances aqueous outflow by contracting the cilary body
