propranolol and Ocular Hypertension

propranolol has been researched along with Ocular Hypertension in 2 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

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

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"It has been demonstrated in experiments on unanesthetized rabbits that propranolol instilled into the eye conjunctival sac caused a decrease in normal intraocular pressure and reduced prostaglandin-induced ocular hypertension."3.66[Effect of beta-adrenoblockers on prostaglandin-induced ocular hypertension in rabbits]. ( Ermakova, VN, 1983)
"Ten patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension (totally 15 pathological eyes and 5 healthy) who had had topical timolol for at least 2 months received the coded oral treatment."2.65A combination of oral and topical beta-blockers with additive effects on intraocular pressure. ( Kättström, O; Ohrström, A, 1983)
