Patients who suffer from glaucoma are usually exposed to all sorts of health conditions that affect the general well-functioning of the eye; this is actually the case when one is confronted with high pressure at the eye level.

What is Alphagan P and how does it work?

Alphagan P is a well-reputed medicine prescribed in severe cases of open-angle glaucoma when the pressure in the eyes is too high and potentially dangerous. There is a double medical action associated with Alphagan P: on the one hand it stimulates the production of liquid that cleans the eyeball, and on the other it controls liquid drainage as well.

Normally, Alphagan P influences blood pressure; consequently it is highly important that the patient should inform the doctor whether he or she suffers from hypertension or any cardiac problems. Alphagan P is normally available as ophthalmic solution, and it is often associated with ointments. The only special warning here is to leave at least five minutes between the administration of the two.

Before starting the treatment with Alphagan P, it is highly important that you inform the doctor on any other medication you may be taking; for instance, those patients who use MAO inhibitors or antidepressants, are not allowed to administrate Alphagan P.

Special warnings and Alphagan P side effects
* Alphagan P is an ophthalmic solution that can be used even by children over two; under this age, there are potential risks for the child's well being.
* People with circulatory problems, low blood pressure and depression are to use Alphagan P under stric medical observation since an aggravation of the condition may occur.
As for the most commonly reported side effects, Alphagan P is said to induce drowsiness, thus affecting the capacity to drive vehicles and operate machinery.
Furthermore, other adverse reactions are local and include redness and tissue irritation, eye inflammations and blurred vision, staining of the cornea and sensitivity to light.
Watery eyes and tearing are symptoms that have been reported on quite a frequent basis; nevertheless, they are usually temporary and mild in manifestation.
If any irritation or eye problem persists or aggravates during Alphagan P administration, you should go the ophthalmologist right away for a complete check and a possible discontinuation of the medication.
As for Aphagan P over-dosage, there have not been reported any dangerous cases; yet, caution is always necessary since any drug abuse is risky for one's health.

Comment: Good article except that A' P is supposed to inhibit aqueous humor production, not to stimulate it.
