Long-term hypotensive effect of atenolol 4% eyedrops.
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of long-term application of 4% atenolol eye drops has been studied in patients with either glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In some patients who show a good initial response the ocular hypotensive effect gradually wears off with long-term use. This pattern of response appears to be more frequent in patients with pretreatment intraocular pressure of 25 mmHg, or greater. In combination with atenolol miotics or adrenaline show an additive effect.

Atenolol versus adrenaline eye drops and an evaluation of these two combined.
In a 1-day, 1-dose, double-masked, randomised trial, with each of 12 patients acting as his/her own control, atenolol drops 4% (a selective beta1-adrenergic blocker) produced a significantly greater fall in ocular tension measured by applanation than did adrenaline drops 1% (P is less than 0.01 Wilcoxon matched pairs signed ranks test). The mean differences, which favoured atenolol, between the...
متن کاملhypotensive effects of acetazolamide and atenolol
The ocular hypotensive effect of single oral doses of (a) atenolol (50mg), (b) acetazolamide (500 mg), (c) atenolol (50 mg) and acetazolamide (500 mg) in combination, and (d) vehicle (inert tablets) were compared in 8 patients with glaucoma. In this single-dose, double-masked trial the combination was observed as most effective in reducing ocular tension. Both the combination and atenolol perfo...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of atenolol in hypertensive patients.
Atenolol, a cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent, was given as the sole hypotensive drug for 8-12 weeks to 20 patients with hypertension of varying degrees of severity. Initial systolic blood pressure ranged from 162-238 mm Hg (mean +/- SEM 196 +/- 5.5 mm Hg) and diastolic blood pressure ranged from 105-143 mm Hg (118 +/- 2.5 mm Hg). Three patients had accelerated hypertension, six ha...

1. The anti-hypertensive effect of atenolol was greater than that of bendrofluazide. 2. The change in systolic blood pressure caused by bendrofluazide showed a significant inverse correlation iwth the plasma renin concentration (r=-0-47; P less than 0-01). 3. The correlation between the change in systolic blood pressure caused by atenolol and the plasma renin concentration was not significant (...
متن کاملContribution of atenolol, bendrofluazide, and hydrallazine to management of severe hypertension.
The efficacy of various combinations of atenolol, bendrofluazide, and hydraliazine given twice daily was assessed in a double-blind trial on 39 patients with moderate to severe essential hypertension. Concurrent treatment with all three drugs proved most effective and produced a mean reduction in blood pressure of 43/31 mm Hg. In the dosage used, hydrallazine affected only the diastolic blood p...
