Ototoxic Drugs
Vancomycin (an bio cs), aminoglycosides, loop diure cs, cispla n
Also: NSAIDs, acetaminophen, quinine, chemo drugs (ex. cispla n), an malarials
hepatoxic drugs
Acetaminophen (most common)
an -fungals
Nephrotoxic drugs
aminoglycosides. amphotericin B. ACE inhibitors. cicpla n. cyclosporin. NSAIDS. Radiographic I
V contrasts.
Vancomycin
Glaucoma meds: Prostaglandin agonists (end in -prost)
lowers IOP by allowing more ou,low of aqueous humor
Glaucoma meds: Adrenergic Agonists (apraclonidine, brimonidine tartrate, dipivefrin
hydrochloride)
reduces amount of aqueous humor produced by ciliary bodies, lowering IOP
Glaucoma meds: Beta-Adrenergic Blockers (betaxolol hydrochloride, carteolol, levobunolol,
molol)
decreased IOP by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors so less aqueous humor is produced
Glaucoma meds: cholinergic agonists (pilocarpine, echothiophate, carbachol)
lower IOP by decreasing amount of aqueous humor produced
Glaucoma meds: carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (brinzolamide, dorzolamide)
reduce IOP by inhibi ng produc on of aqueous humor
What's important to monitor for glaucoma pa ents when on meds?
