Glaucoma drops are usually the first line of medical intervention a doctor will take if eye pressures are too high and/or if there are signs of glaucoma damage. Fortunately, a new class of drugs known as the prostaglandins have come out in the last several years, and they have superior pressure lowering capabilities with minimal systemic side effects. They are also effective during the important nocturnal periods for which other medications are not. We will begin by discussing this class of drugs.</address> <p> </p> <p><strong>Prostaglandin Analogs</strong></p> <p>Prostaglandins do not reduce aqueous production, but instead exert their effects by enhancing outflow. The drainage mechanisms is primarily via the uveoscleral, but it is our understanding that they may also have an influence on the trabecular meshwork.</p> <table style="width: 500px;"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Brand Name </td> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Company Name</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Generic Name</td> </tr><tr><td>Lumigan®</td> <td>Allergan Inc.</td> <td>Bimatoprost 0.01%, 0.03%</td> </tr><tr><td>Travatan® Z</td> <td>Alcon Inc.</td> <td>Travaprost 0.004%</td> </tr><tr><td>Xalatan</td> <td>Pfizer Inc.</td> <td>Latanoprost 0.005%</td> </tr><tr><td>ZIOPTAN™</td> <td>Merck &amp; Co.</td> <td>Tafluprost ophthalmic solution 0.0015%</td> </tr></tbody></table><p><em>Side effects:  </em>approximately 5% to 15% of people have reported a gradual change in eye color, due to an increased amount of brown pigment in the iris of the treated eye. Obviously, people with darker or brown eyes will not notice this, and lighter color eyes may not show these changes for months to possibly years later.. Other side effects can include stinging, blurred vision, eye redness, itching, and burning. Because these medications are fairly new to the market, complete, long term side effects are yet to be documented, and in fact, there is a newer side effect which has been reported by some of our FitEyes members and is documented as a PGA side effect known as <a href="http://bmctoday.net/glaucomatoday/2011/06/article.asp?f=prostaglandin-associated-periorbitopathy" target="_blank">Prostaglandin-Associated Periorbitopathy</a>.</p> <div><strong>Alpha Agonists</strong></div> <div> </div> <div>These work to both decrease aqueous production but may also help with improving drainage via an outflow mechanism.</div> <div> <table style="width: 500px;"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Brand Name</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Company Name</td> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Generic Name</td> </tr><tr><td>Iopidine®</td> <td>Alcon, Inc.</td> <td>Apraclonidine HCI 0.5%, 1%</td> </tr><tr><td>Alphagan® P</td> <td>Allergan Inc.</td> <td>Brimonidine tartrate 0.1%, 0.15%</td> </tr><tr><td>Propine®</td> <td>Generic</td> <td>dipivefrin HCI 0.1%</td> </tr><tr><td>Combigan™</td> <td>Allergan Inc.</td> <td>see our section below on combination drugs</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <div dir="ltr"> <div><em>Notes: </em>Each dipivefrin molecule is converted to two epinephrine molecules in the body. Because newer adrenergic agonists are generally more effective and have fewer side effects, dipivefrin is rarely used. However, clinical experience indicates that dipivefrin may be especially effective for pigmentary glaucoma or pigment dispersion syndrome. Therefore, dipivefrin may be an important drug for PDS or PG patients.</div> <div> </div> <div>For everyday use, brimonidine (Alphagan) is replacing apraclonidine (Iopidine) because it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Some pharmacies no longer carry apraclonidine eyedrops. Another drop that is not used often is plain epinephrine.</div> <div> </div> <div>One interesting fact about alpha agonists is that they are all related to adrenaline, the stress hormone. In fact, epinephrine is just another name for adrenaline. In those cases, the drugs are exactly identical to the adrenal hormone. So ponder this: why is it that stress hormones often raise IOP in real life, yet alpha agonists are used to lower IOP? I find that very strange!</div> <div> </div> <div><em>Side effects:</em> Burning or stinging.

The lyophilized decoction demonstrated anti-diarrheic activity in experimental models of diarrhea induced by castor oil, arachidonic acid, and prostaglandin E2.<br /> A flavonoid, quercitrin, with antidiarrheic activity was isolated from this crude drug. A study suggests that the active component(s) in the water extract of E. hirta leaf had similar diuretic spectrum to that of acetazolamide.<br /> These results validate the traditional use of E. hirta as a diuretic agent by the Swahilis and Sukumas in Africa.<br /> Euphorbia hirta extract demonstrated active against dysenteric epidemia in 53 patients (Ridet and Chartol). <br /> Clinical trials conducted on 150 cases of colopathies related to Entamoeba histolytica with Euphorbia hirta extract.
