Q

can hypersomotic agents be used with uveitis?

A

maybe

17
Q

adrenergic agents (sympathomimetics)

A

epi, dipivefrin (gets converted to epi in AC)

18
Q

adrenergic agents MOA

A

increased trabecular outflow (increased uveoscleral outflow)

19
Q

adrenergic agents contraindications

A

systemic effects; epi causes poor corneal penetration

20
Q

can adrenergic agents be used with uveitis?

A

yes

21
Q

alpha2 agonists (adrenergic agents)

A

brimonidine

22
Q

alpha2 agonists MOA

A

decreased aqueous humor production

23
Q

alpha2 agonists contraindications

A

rare drug-induced uveitis

24
Q

can alpha2 agonists be used with uveitis?

A

maybe

25
Q

prostaglandins

A

latanoprost, bimitoprost, travaprost

26
Q

prostaglandins MOA

A

increased uveoscleral outflow causes miosis

27
Q

prostaglandins contraindications

A

inflammation, anterior lens lux, less effective in cats

28
Q

can prostaglandins be used with uveitis?

A

NO
