Q

Two drugs preventing acetylcholine degradation:

A

Phisostigmine

Echothiophate

17
Q

Two a1 receptor antagonists: (inhibit sympathetic NS)

A

Terazosin

Resperine

18
Q

No pupilary response to cocaine means?

A

Horner syndrome–deficit of sympathetic nervous system

19
Q

No pupillary response to amphetamine means?

A

No post-ganglionic nerve activity

20
Q

Two things nicotine does:

A
  1. activates nicotinic receptors

2. activates parasympathetics to produce miosis (pupil constriction)

21
Q

What does atropine do?

A

Muscarinic receptor ANTAGONIST –>dliates pupil (mydriasis)

also paralyzes ciliary muscle so can’t accommodate near focusing

22
Q

What does pilocarpine do?

What is it used for?

A

muscarinic agonist (parasympathetic)

test for CN III palsy: if pupil constricts then problem is in nerve

if it doesn’t constrict then problem is in eye

23
Q

Physostigmine?

A

prevents Ach degradation

produces miosis

treats narrow angle glaucoma

24
Q

Ecothiophate?

A

prevents Ach degradation

produces miosis (pupil constriction)

used to treat narrow angle glaucoma

25
Q

Terazosin?

A

a1 receptor ANtagonist

produces miosis

not used to treat eye but can have occular side fx

26
Q

Reserpine?

A

norepinephrine depleting agent

produces miosis

27
Q

Timolol…and other -lols?

A

Beta blockers.

Treat glaucoma by decreasing aqueous humor formation

28
Q

How does pilocarpine treat glaucoma?

A

Muscarinic Agonist, enhances aqueous humor drainage via trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm

29
Q

How do physostigmine and ecothiophate treat glaucoma?

A

Anticholinesterases (pump up parasympathetics?) enhance aqueous humor drainage

30
Q

How do Apraclonidine and Brimonidine treat glaucoma?

A

a2 Agonists–>reduce aqueous humor formation

31
Q

How does epinephrine or dipevefrin treat glaucoma?

A

primarily increase aqueous humor outflow, but also suppress production

32
Q

What is the most common current treatment for glaucoma? How does is work?

A

Prostaglandin derivative Latanoprost

increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor

33
Q

Acetazolamide? Glaucoma treatment?

A

carbonic anhydrase inhibitor

last option if nothing else works
