(steroid response)
Rimexolone (vexol)
Fluorometholone
Zidovudine (retrovir)
Diflurprednate (durezol)
Term 2 of 368
Which drugs can cause Blue sclera? (2)
Zidovudine (retrovir)
1. Mast cells
2. Basophils
1. STEROIDS
2. Minocyline
1. Tetracyclines (mino & doxy)
2. Isotretinoin (accutane)
3. Oral contraceptives
4. Nalidixic acid (antibiotic)
,Term 3 of 368
Which drug only inhibits COX 2?
Anti-arrhythmic medication.
it inhibits k+
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
A selective Cox inhibitor
1. mast cells
2. basophils
Promoting activity of these receptors can lead to glaucoma
alpha 1: can dilate (angle closure)
alpha 2: no.
beta 1: on npce, ^s aq humor production (not as likely though bc there aren't as many of
these receptors on the ciliary body)
beta 2: on npce, ^s aq humor production
,Term 4 of 368
What two drugs make up Polysporins?
1. Chlorpromazine (psychotic)
2. Thioridazine (psychotic)
3. Indomethacin (NSAID rxd for Goute)
Furosemide
"ascending ferociously"
1. Bacitracin (+)
2. Polymixin B (-)
Hydrochlorothiazide
-Can cause angle closure miopia
, Term 5 of 368
MAOIs and TCAs are able to exacerbate the systemic effects of what ophthalmic drugs?
MUST STUDY CLOSELY
1. Aparclonidine
2. Brimonidine
They both decrease Aq production and increase uveoscleral outflow! (2 mechanisms of
action)
Atropine then Scopolamine then Homatropine then Cyclopentolate then Topicamide
Tropicamide has the shortest duration of affect for both cycloplegic and mydriatic.
Natamycin (not a bacterial mycin, don't get confused)
-Reminder, it binds to ergosterol and forms fluid
Amphotericin B is also in th
1. Phenylephrine (don't give phenyl 10%)
2. Other adrenergic agonists.
-don't give brimonidine if on MAOI or TCAs
