[Sympathomimetic and sympatholytic drugs in the therapy of glaucoma (author's transl)].
The basis of sympathetic impulse transmission are summarised. Sympathomimetics and sympatholytics are discussed with regard to their mode of action, clinical use and contra-indications. We found that a 1% solution of adrenaline twice a day together with miotics is most suitable for long-term treatment. With the beta-blockers Bupranolol and Timolol tried by us can a massive pressure reduction be obtained, but which is of short duration with the concentrations used up till now. Adrenergic potentiators can not be recommended.
