Agonists and antagonists of glaucoma drugs - Apriclonidine Epinephrine in the treatment of glaucoma

Unlike the cholinergic drugs glaucoma is not completely known agonists of work on the eyes, however, that interact with cells and receptors on the surface of the eye, and they do reduce eye pressure in most cases.




Adrenaline is a very common drug for glaucoma, which is used to help control the disease of the eyes, and runs a number of different brand names. This neurotransmitter is the same as the adrenaline and everything works very well to reduce intraocular pressure, there are still many problems that occur in May, as red eye, such as adrenaline is diluted in the blood vessels in the eye.




Furthermore, this type of glaucoma in May because of the drugs for eye irritation, as a number of people who have an allergic reaction to this type of medication for glaucoma. It is usually combined with other drugs, such as tip to the center of the eye much easier, but the body to react against the future treatment of glaucoma is far less efficient.




Epinephrine can add side effects of angina pectoris, chest pain, arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat and hypertension, which is high blood pressure. Be sure to discuss the existing conditions with your doctor before beginning a regime of glaucoma of any type of adrenaline, drugs to reduce eye pressure.




Another type of drug is an agonist for glaucoma Iopidine, which was adopted ten years ago and, like other types of drugs for glaucoma, there are a number of side effects. Some of these include the expansion of the population, burning, itching, blurry, bleeding, and allergic reaction. This allergic reaction to this medicine, glaucoma can cause serious side effects such as vomiting and abdominal pain.




In addition, apriclonidine is much less effective after some weeks or months of use, and there is less attention focused solutions that include fewer side effects of treatment of glaucoma and comparable results.




Regarding glaucoma antagonist drugs, these drugs are beta-blockers, which bind to beta receptors which are found in the body. It is not known how these eyes are drugs used to control angle-closure glaucoma, but are widely used with some success.




Timolol can have serious side effects with heart problems, causing shortness of breath and worsening of asthma. Impotence can also be a side effect of beta-blockers, exercise, and can be dangerous, especially for older men. These types of glaucoma drugs remains highly controversial, and beta-blockers should be continued to avoid the side effects adverse consequences, and researchers continue to develop this type of glaucoma medications with fewer side effects in future.




There is also a glaucoma drug that can reduce the flow of aqueous humor of the eye, unlike the simple opening of the steel mesh in the eye itself. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that controls production of fluid in the eye, and this type of glaucoma drug neutralizing enzymes to prevent further liquid aqueous form.




The types of these drugs include acetazolamide dichlorphenamide and glaucoma and a number of these drugs are now available in eye drops, so it can easily be used to treat glaucoma at home.




Of course, there are a number of side effects associated with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, particularly for those with weak kidneys or liver. These drugs also cause glaucoma the body more acidic, which can cause muscle weakness and decreased flexibility in paralysis or even the circumstances.




Dichlorphenamide can also cause headaches and loss of potassium, although smaller doses to be taken in May, which had comparable results. Other side effects can include kidney stones, problems with the creation of new red blood cells, confusion, depression, agitation, anemia and in rare circumstances.




But with all these side effects glaucoma medications, these drugs are usually good for a certain segment of the population. Glaucoma medicines work for different people, so it's a good idea to check all options before making your final decision.
