4 Mechanism Pathway for anti glaucoma
1.Trabecular Outflow
2.Episcleral Venous Pressure
3.Uveoscleral Outflow
4.Aqueous Humor Outflow
Adrenegic Agonist
Beta Blocker
CAI
Mechanism of Action ?
1.Aqueous Humor inflow
Example of Non selective
Adrenergic Agonis ( Alpha and Beta )
Dipivefrin
Epinephrine
Example of Selective Alpha 2 Agonist
Apraclonidine
Brimonidine ( Alphagan )
IOP Percent of Non selective Alpha Peak and washout
15-20 %
peak 12-24
Washout 7-14 days
IOP Percent of Alpha 2 , Peak , and Washout
20-30 %
Peak 1-2 hrs
Washout 7-14 days
Side effects of Non selective Adrenergic Agonist
Adrenochrome deposit
Follicular Conjunctivitis
Side effects of selective Adrenergic agonist
Follicular Conjunctivitis
Alphagan IOP Decrease Peak and Washout
20-30 % ,
Peak 2 hrs
Washout 7-14 days
Alphagan most important systemic side effects
Depression
Different of Alphagan and Alphagan P
Less Severe side effect
