Pharm 3 Flashcards
Mydriasis
SNS - alpha 1
from sup cervical gang
Ciliary relaxation
distance vision
SNS - beta 2
(from sup cervical gang)
Secretion at ciliary body (aqueous humor)
SNS - alpha 2, beta 2
from sup cervical gang
Miosis
PSNS - M3
travels w. CN 3 from edinger westphal nuc
Lacrimal secretion
PSNS M3, M3
CN 7
What do opiates cause in the eye?
Pinpoint pupils
- block inhibitory interneurons of E-W nut so it’s always constricting
Muscarinic antagonists and the eye
- for optic neuritis and uveitis
- cause mydriasis and loss of accommodation
- not for glaucoma
- AE: inc. intraocular P, systemic antichol effects
Atropine
muscarinic antag for iritis/uveitis in the eye,
causes mydriasis and loss of accommadation
Muscarinic antags for the eye
Atropine Homotripine Tropicamide Cyclopentolate Scopolamine
Glaucoma treatments
PG analogs Beta blockers Diuretics Cholinomimetics Alpha Agonists
Dipivefrin, Phenylephrine, Apraclonidine, Brimonidine, Naphazoline, Tetrahydrozoline
- alpha agonists for glaucoma
- dec. aqueous humor synthesis via vasoconstriction
- AE: mydriasis, blurry vision, hyperemia, foreign body sensation, hypersensitivity
- ## Caution in hyperthyroid, HTN, DM, CAD, asthma
Timolol, Levobunolol, Metipranolol, Carteolol
- beta blockers for glaucoma
- ## blocks ciliary body production of aqueous humor by dec. cAMP and pKA or dec. ocular blood flow
Dorzolamide, Brinzolamide
- carbonic anhydrase inhibitors for glaucoma
- blocks production of H20 and CO2 from Carbonic acid
- less water = less aqueous humor
- Dorzolamide, Brinzolamide
Latanoprost, Travoprost, Bimatoprose
- PG analogs for glaucoma treatment
- inc. outflow of aqueous humor
- darkens color of iris, causes hypertrichosis
Afliberecept, Pegaptanib, Ranibizumab, Bevacizumab
- anti VEGF for macular degeneration
- AE: bleeding, thrombosis, stroke, MI
