Summary: | This paper reports on the results of a comparative study between pilocarpine 2%, Guanethidine 1 % &adrenaline 0.5% combination over a 6 months period with each formulation. The guanethidine/-adrenaline formulation was found to be the more effective hypotensive agent of two. This study confirms the potentiating effect of adding guanethidine to adrenaline &suggests that this combination would be a useful alternative treatment to pilocarpine 2% used alone |
