Effect of sibutramine on intraocular pressure

چکیده
Objective This study evaluated the effects of sibutramine on intraocular pressure (IOP) and body-mass index (BMI). Methods Thirty obese females (body-mass index >30 kg/m2) treated with sibutramine (10 mg/day) plus diet restriction for 3 months were included in the study. IOP, BMI, and blood biochemical parameters were measured at the beginning and end of the treatment. Results were evaluated statistically by paired t-test, analysis of variance, and least-significant difference test. Results A statistically significant decrease was observed in the mean body-mass index (p < 0.001) and serum triglyceride (p < 0.001), while a statistically insignificant increase was observed in IOP (p = 0.54). Conclusion While sibutramine provided an effective means for weight loss, it caused a slight increase in IOP, although this was not statistically significant. Nevertheless, it is prudent to monitor IOP in selected obese patients treated with sibutramine.

The effect of low dose of ketamine on intraocular pressure in patients undergoing cataract surgery
Background: Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries in the world, especially in elderly patients, and often performed topically with sedative agents. Ketamine is one of the most commonly used agents and the effect of different doses on intraocular pressure is in dispute. The present study investigates the effect of a low dose of ketamine on intraocular pressure in patients undergoi...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the antiglaucoma effect of calcium channel blockers diltiazem and verapamil. Albino rabbits were used and chronic glaucoma was induced in them using freshly prepared 150 units of alphachymotrypsin. 0.1 mL of drug solution was administered topically into the left eye whereas the right served as control. The pressure recording was carried out at 15, 30, ...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. Methods: The intraocular pressures (IOP), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...
متن کاملParadoxical effect of sibutramine on autonomic cardiovascular regulation.
BACKGROUND Sibutramine, a serotonin and norepinephrine transporter blocker, is widely used as an adjunctive obesity treatment. Norepinephrine reuptake inhibition with sibutramine conceivably could exacerbate arterial hypertension and promote cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS In 11 healthy subjects (7 men, age 27+/-2 years, body mass index 23.1+/-0.7 kg/m2), we compared the effect of...
