Glaucoma Drugs

Beta blockers are used to treat hypertension, angina, migraines, atrial fibrillation, essential tremor, heart attack, heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, adrenal cancer, and glaucoma. They work by blocking certain receptors to reduce heart rate, dilating blood vessels for better blood flow, and reducing excess eye fluid to decrease eye pressure.

Prostaglandins are used to treat glaucoma and gastric ulcer, as well as for labor induction and to increase eyelash growth. They work by reducing pressure in the eye by decreasing excess fluid in the eyes, protecting the stomach from ulcers, and causing contractions in the cervix.

Cholinesterase inhibitors are used to treat Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, myasthenia gravis, and lice. They work by improving memory, controlling movement, improving muscle strength, and destroying lice and eggs.

Alpha agonists are used for pupil dilation and the treatment of hypotension, adrenal insufficiency, glaucoma, nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis, eye inflammation, and dry eyes. They work by reducing swelling in the nasal passages, removing excess fluid in the eyes, and reducing inflammation.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma, altitude sickness, edema, and epilepsy. They work by reducing excess fluid in different parts of the body to lower eye pressure and control seizures and nausea.

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor / Beta Blocker Combinations are used to lower pressure in the eye to treat glaucoma. They work by reducing excess fluid in the eye.

Alpha agonist / beta blocker combinations are used to lower pressure in the eye to treat glaucoma. They work by reducing excess fluid in the eye.

Cholinergic agonists are used for pupil dilation and to treat dry mouth and glaucoma. They work by increasing saliva production and by lowering pressure in the eye.

Adrenergic agonists are used to lower eye pressure to treat glaucoma. They work by removing excess fluid in the eye to decrease pressure.
