nifedipine and Ocular Hypertension

nifedipine has been researched along with Ocular Hypertension in 1 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Ocular Hypertension: A condition in which the intraocular pressure is elevated above normal and which may lead to glaucoma.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To investigate the time course of changes in optic nerve head (ONH) circulation after an acute increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), by using the laser speckle method, and to evaluate the effects of a calcium antagonist, the nitric oxide synthetase inhibitor, indomethacin, or sympathetic nerve amputation on the response in ONH circulation after an acute increase in IOP."3.72Time course of the change in optic nerve head circulation after an acute increase in intraocular pressure.
