Glaucoma should receive regular treatment to avoid blind medication

[ China Pharmaceutical Network Health Health ] - Glaucoma is a common and difficult eye disease with intermittent or continuous increase in intraocular pressure. The disease is rapid, harmful, and can cause blindness at any time. Experts remind that glaucoma can not blindly use drugs for long-term use of drugs to treat glaucoma will cause some complications, so delaying the formation of cataract by inhibiting aldose reductase has become one of the hot spots in the treatment of cataract drugs, so as not to increase the side effects of drugs and will not increase Reduce the effect of intraocular pressure.

When treating glaucoma, pay attention to whether the medication is correct and avoid discomfort. To achieve this, glaucoma patients should receive regular treatment to avoid blind medical treatment.

Glaucoma should not be used blindly

Long-term use of drugs to treat glaucoma can cause some complications, such as β-blockers may slow heart rate, such as numbness, nausea, fatigue, dizziness after oral administration of acetamide, long-term application should drink plenty of water, and add Taking potassium drugs, especially pay attention to kidney stones and renal colic, pilocarpine can cause myopia, and the visual acuity of cataracts will be significantly reduced. Long-term use of drugs can cause eye discomfort, such as dry eye syndrome, when you can add some anti-dry eye eye drops.

Some patients think that multi-point anti-glaucoma drugs can lower the intraocular pressure and lower the intraocular pressure. This is extremely wrong. Anti-glaucoma drugs have strict drug counts. Lowering the intraocular pressure or lowering the intraocular pressure can only increase the side effects of the drug.

The same class of drugs should not be combined, such as the combination of two β-blockers, so as not to increase the side effects of the drug and does not increase the effect of lowering the intraocular pressure. The antagonists and agonists of the same class of drugs should not be used at the same time. At a glance. Glaucoma patients must cooperate with and trust the doctor's advice, establish close contact with your therapist, and work together to protect your vision.

What are the medication exclusion areas for glaucoma?

The drugs that cause an increase in aqueous humor are mainly nitrates such as nitroglycerin, long-acting nitroglycerin, isoamyl nitrite, and heartache. These drugs are effective in dilating the coronary arteries, improving myocardial ischemia, and also expanding the retinal blood vessels, causing an increase in aqueous humor production and an increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, elderly glaucoma patients should be careful with nitric acid drugs. If the use of nitrate drugs is necessary for the onset of coronary heart disease, the dose should not be large, the medication time should not be long, and pay attention to observe the presence or absence of glaucoma aggravation.

The drugs that cause obstruction of aqueous reflux are mainly atropine and its derivatives such as salicin, belladonna, yangjinhua, mandala, and prubensin, bromobenzine, stomach Changning, Anweiling, Wei'an, stomach. Huan, stomach rehabilitation, stomach and ulcers are equal. This kind of medicine can make the pupil opening muscle contract separately, so that the rainbow trout can retreat to the surrounding outer edge, which can compress the anterior chamber angle and narrow the anterior chamber angle, thus hindering the reflux of the aqueous humor into the scleral sinus, causing the intraocular pressure to rise. Can make the condition worse. Therefore, elderly glaucoma patients must be contraindicated in these drugs.

Glaucoma Chinese medicine treatment principle:

1. Antioxidant effects: Many studies have shown that oxidative damage is an important mechanism for the formation of cataract. After oxidative damage, disulfide, methionine, iodine alanine and high molecular weight reducible polymer are formed in the lens of cataract. Reductive bonds are present in cytoplasm-membrane proteins; reduced glutathione in cataract lens The peptide is reduced, and the mixed disulfide of oxidized glutathione and protein is increased; cell membrane disintegration, malondialdehyde formation, metabolic activity sensitive to oxidation is reduced, and concentration of latent oxide is increased. Clinically, with age aging, the lens undergoes a series of changes, such as yellowing of the lens suggesting pigment accumulation; increased protein protein reduces transparency; protein structure changes cause some reactive groups to be revealed, and these changes are more susceptible to oxidation damage. Therefore, many traditional Chinese medicine research starts with improving the antioxidant function of the lens, and using antioxidants or antioxidant enzyme activators to eliminate or neutralize the oxidation products in the lens, thereby preventing or reversing the biochemical changes of the lens.

2. Inhibition of aldose reductase: Glucose metabolism disorder is one of the causes of lens opacity. Among them, sorbitol has been confirmed to be accumulated in cells by the lack of an aldose reductase inhibitor to form lens opacity. Therefore, delaying the formation of cataract by inhibiting aldose reductase has become one of the hotspots in the treatment of cataract. At present, dozens of flavonoid-containing substances have been found to inhibit the activity of aldose reductase. Some scholars in China have also studied this, such as MDA, insoluble and high molecular protein content.

3. Provide nutrients directly to the eye. Due to the absorption of the drug, sufficient nutrients are absorbed into the blood through the body, and the microcirculation directly provides various urgently needed nutrients to the eye, and another part of the nutrients and moisture, through the use of bright eyes and eyesight, directly through the skin surface after absorption and penetration The eye is directly connected to the patient's part of the eye; the systemic absorption of the drug can be a large amount of toxins accumulated throughout the body through the kidneys and sweat and eye secretions; in addition, the body's major organs are regulated and activated to make the body Restore youthfulness and maintain endocrine balance coordination!
