Pharma Tips-8

61. AMA is acebutolol; Metoprolol and atenolol are beta 1 selective.
62. Pilocarpine causes miosis by contracting the ciliary muscles, opening the canal of schlemm leads to drainage of aqueous humour and a decrease in IOP. 
63. Alpha 2 agonists’ ↓ NE release ↓ aqueous humour formation ↓ IOP.
64. Beta antagonists block the NE actions, so they decrease aqueous humour formation.
65. Medical conditions and drugs most used to treat:
  • Angina--> beta-blockers, CCBs.
  • Diabetes and heart failure--> ACEIs, ARBs, and diuretics.
  • Post MI--> beta-blockers.
  • BPH--> alpha-blockers.
