Pharm 3 Flashcards
open angle glaucoma cause vs risk factors vs tx goals
dec aq humor drain -> inc fluid/IOP -> optic n dmg -> loss retinal n fibers & periph VF vs inc IOP, intraoc HTN; fhx, age, race; HTN, maybe myopia, DM vs dec aq humor/inc outflow, dec IOP by >30%
closed angle glaucoma (MEDICAL EMERGENCY) cause & sxs vs tx/goals
Aq humor cannot drain thru angle b/c blocked by iris
Sudden inc in eye pressure –> eye pain, red, blurred vision, nausea, BLIND vs clear blockage, dec IOP, protect vision, laser surg or intraoc meds
which glaucoma drugs dec aq prod vs inc aq outflow? what do topical corticosteroids (-one, Loteprednol) do; AE; CI?
beta blockers, alpha2 agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors vs PG analogs, alpha2 agonists, cholinergic agonists, Rho kinase inhibitors. delay wound healing after ocular or glaucoma filtering surg, Dec inflam assoc w/ allergy; inc IOP, iritis; corneal abrasion, eye infxn
AE & DI of PG analogs vs Beta-Blockers vs Alpha-2 Agonists
iris hyperpig, eyelash growth; pilocarpine dec lavastoprost vs brady, depression; take bexatolol if exac pulm airway dz, careful in brady/COPD/asthma vs allergic conjunctivitis; MAOI
AE of CAI vs cholinergic agonists vs Rho kinase inhib
bitter taste, corneal decompensation, exfoliative rashes, angioedema vs corneal clouding, retinal detach vs instillation pain, conjunctival hyperemia/hem
cornea verticillata*
what’s diabetic macular edema vs cause vs risk factors?
manifestation of diabetic retinopathy affecting center macula -> retinal hem (temporary); retinal detach or macular ischemia (permanent) -> vision loss vs long-term, uncontrolled blood glucose (& maybe Uncontrolled HTN) vs genetics/fhx, age, race, smoke/alc, comorbidities
dry vs wet AMD w/ tx
drusen under RPE -> RPE detach/atrophy. laser photocoag, PDT vs choroid vessels thru Brusch mem under RPE -> exudate, hem -> dmg photoreceptors. grid laser photocoag, antiVEGF
intravitreal corticosteroids MOA vs AE vs CI
dec inflamm in DME by inject q3mo or implant for 36mo vs cataract, inc IOP/glaucoma vs ocular infxns, glaucoma
VEGF inhib Pegaptanib MOA vs AE vs CI. Aflibercept MOA vs AE vs CI.
wet only. bind to VEGF -> VEGF can’t bind to receptors -> no neovasc vs eye pain, inc IOP, floaters, retinal detach, iatrogenic cataract vs infxn. same w/ pegaptanib + VEGFA; conjunctival hem, arterial thrombosis, MI or CVA
VEGF inhib Bevacizumab (off-label), Ranibizumab MOA vs AE vs BBW
wet AMD/DME, prolif DR. bind to VEGF -> VEGF can’t bind to receptors -> no neovasc vs HTN, impaired wound healing, VTE vs GI perforation, surgical/wound healing complications
what’s ocuvite? MOA vs AE vs DI
antioxidant vit (A, E, C) + zinc; zeaxanthin, copper, selenium, lutein; AREDS/2. reduces progression of intermediate to advanced AMD vs beta-carotene (vitA) -> lung ca; vit E -> heart fail vs chelation with other drugs
conjunctivitis sxs
Mattering and adherence of eyelids upon waking
purulent, mucus, watery d/c
Dil conjunctival vessels; hyperemia, edema
Itching (allergic conjunctivitis > viral and bacterial)
bacterial conjunctivitis cause vs sxs vs local & systemic therapy
from infected person or abnl flora growth; S pneu, H flu, Moraxella in kids; S pneu, H flu, Staph in adults; pseudomonas in contacts vs purulent d/c, red, eye pain vs topical ophth drops w/ low AE; for chlamydia/gono
bacterial conjunctivitis txs vs AE
ophth abx: aminoglycosides, macrolides, polymixins, FLQ, folate synthesis inhibitors vs itch/burn/irrit, hypersensitivity, periorbital edema, Neomycin allergy worsens infxn. JP study guide pg 5
which viruses cause viral conjunctivitis?
HSV keratitis -> uni, thin/watery d/c, vesicular eyelids; CMV retinitis; adenoviruses; herpes zoster ophthalmicus -> corneal involved -> ophth referral
how to nonpharm vs pharm tx viral conjunctivitis?
hand wash, cold compress; artifical tears, antihist vs val/acyclovir for HSV to inhib DNA elong; Topical trifluridine for HSV keratitis (max 21d) to thymidylic phosphorylase and DNA
polymerase but can get burning/irrit
topical antihist (-stine, -adine) MOA vs AE vs clinical pearls
H1 receptor antagonist vs hyperemia vs
Wait 5 min b/w other ophthalmic solutions
Wait 10 min for inserting contacts
Can use with systemic antihistamines for allergies
Topical mast cell stabilizers MOA vs AE vs clinical pearls
inhibits hist release from sensitized mast cells vs unpleasant taste, dry eye, blurry vs must be used before symptoms start (no going back if hist release alrdy started); nedocromil not as good; cromolyn & ketotifen = OTC
topical NSAID/ketorolac MOA vs AE vs CI vs other indic
analgesic like oral NSAIDs; prevents PG complex formation vs corneal edema or perforation vs allergy vs pain (post-op refractive keratoplasty), cataract surg
