Hi Guys!
Now, how about the DOC for emergency glaucoma tx?? I couldn't believe what Q bank said! (i'll post it soon, promise)...Hmmm?

P.S might be better if you do you top 3--from best to worst--categories rather than spec. drugs is fine!

(DOC-drug of choice)

OK! No takers!! Q bank said CA inhibitor--which was the best choice given from a nonsense list including psych drugs. But the answer I was looking for was....PILOCARPINE! Does everyone (anyone) agree?

Thanks!

Hey, I just came. Pilocarpine is DOC, but Colinesterase inhibitors (Isoflurophate, echotiophate) are well used for chronic treatment. That's what lippincot's says about the topic.
