Intraocular-pressure-lowering effect of low-dosage combination of guanethidine and terbutaline in rabbit.
A low dosage combination of terbutaline plus guanethidine was applied topically to the eyes of rabbits with experimentally induced ocular hypertension, markedly lowering intraocular pressure. The effect of this combination is markedly greater than that produced separately by the two components at corresponding dosages and seems to be due to a true synergistic phenomenon. The low-dosage combination of terbutaline and guanethidine appears to be well tolerated, very potent and effective as a topical ocular hypotensive agent.
