1. MYDRIATICS MIOTICS Miotics are drugs that cause constriction of pupil. The commonly used miotics belong to two groups a) parasympathomimetics (contraction of circular fibres of iris) b) sympatholytics (relaxing dilator pupillae muscle) Mydriatics are drugs that dilate the pupil while cycloplegics are agents that cause paralysis of ciliary muscle (paralysis of accommodation
-Drug classes used to reduce intraocular pressure include direct-acting cholinergics (also called miotics and parasympathomimetic drugs), indirect-acting cholinergics (also called miotics, cholinesterase inhibitors, and parasympathomimetic drugs), adrenergics (also called mydriatics and sympathomimetic drugs), antiadrenergics (beta blockers
Topical miotics are primarily used for angle closure glaucoma where the drug What drug interactions are important with topical miotics? There are no
Drug. Interaction. Comments. Ocular hypotensive agents. Additive IOP lowering effects. Used to therapeutic advantage. Anticholinesterase miotics. Competitive inhibition of miotic effect and presumably IOP-lowering effect
Miotics. Miotics are eye drops that cause the pupil to constrict, allowing the blocked drainage angle to open. They may be used two, three, or four times daily.
Miotics Miotics are drugs that cause constriction of pupil. These are used in t he management of glaucoma s and the treatment of esotropias and accommodation insufficiency. Types: Pilocarpine Carbachol Phospholine iodide Physostigmine sulphate
Miotics are agents that cause contraction of the pupil of the eye. This web page lists the names, descriptions, and targets of various miotics, such as carbamoylcholine, pilocarpine, and acetylcholine.
Drug Interactions Miotics and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors. When used in conjunction with topical miotics, osmotic agents, and/or systemically administered carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, the effect of epinephrine in lowering IOP may be additive.
Miotics. The parasympathomimetic miotics are divided into two groups: direct (mimic acetylcholine at the motor-end plates) and anticholinesterase (block
