nifedipine and Ocular Hypotension

nifedipine has been researched along with Ocular Hypotension in 2 studies

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

Ocular Hypotension: Abnormally low intraocular pressure often related to chronic inflammation (uveitis).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To study the time course of changes in circulation in the optic nerve head (ONH) after acute reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) and to evaluate the effects of a calcium antagonist, a nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) inhibitor, indomethacin, and sympathetic nerve amputation on the changes in ONH circulation after reduction of IOP."3.73Time course of changes in optic nerve head circulation after acute reduction in intraocular pressure. ( Araie, M; Takayama, J; Tamaki, Y; Tomidokoro, A, 2005)
"OPA was determined using the Langham ocular blood flow (OBF) system, applanation intraocular pressure (IOP), systemic blood pressure, and heart rate were measured, and ocular perfusion pressure was calculated before and after exercise and smoking in 12 otherwise nonsmoking, healthy volunteers and prior to and for 3 months after initiation of nifedipine therapy in 32 LTG patients with and without a vasospastic reaction as manifested by a nailfold capillary blood flow test."3.69Influence of physical exercise and nifedipine on ocular pulse amplitude. ( Hessemer, V; Mittag, TW; Pavlovic, S; Schmidt, KG, 1996)
