[Effect of spironolactone on intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients].
In order to eliminate a previously reported stimulation of aqueous humor production by aldosterone, 22 glaucoma patients were treated for two weeks with 200 mg Spironolactone daily. The intra-ocular pressure decreased significantly and was still distinctly below the original values 14 days after termination of treatment.
