bencyclane and Glaucoma

bencyclane has been researched along with Glaucoma in 2 studies

Bencyclane: A vasodilator agent found to be effective in a variety of peripheral circulation disorders. It has various other potentially useful pharmacological effects. Its mechanism may involve block of calcium channels.

Glaucoma: An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"46 patients with field defects due to simple glaucoma were treated with beta-Acetyldigoxin (given as "Placebo") or with beta-acetyldigoxin and Bencyclan (given as Verum) in tablets over 6 months, under strict double-blind conditions and after the elimination of the learning effect of perimetry."5.04[Is a medical treatment of glaucomatous field defects possible?
