Dorzolamide is a topical CAI that decreases aqueous humor production. Beta-blockers, prostaglandin analogs, and alpha agonists are different classes. Source: DRUGS FOR GLAUCOMA1.pdf
Prostaglandin analogs can cause iris color changes; Latanoprost is commonly used. Timolol is a beta-blocker, Pilocarpine a cholinergic, Brimonidine an alpha agonist. Source: DRUGS FOR GLAUCOMA1.pdf
Pilocarpine induces miosis to improve outflow. Latanoprost is a prostaglandin, Brimonidine is an alpha agonist, Dorzolamide is a CAI. Source: DRUGS FOR GLAUCOMA1.pdf
