Testing has been requested on
d drugs that could treat glaucoma
tb few or none of the side effects
at plague victims who presently
[other medication. Medical re-
irchers at Texas A&M University
[ waiting for Federal Drug Ad-
nistration approval to begin test-
i human volunteers.
jesearch leader George C.Y.
)u, head of medical pharmacol-
at Texas A&M, says demethy-
d carbachol, or DMC, has
led to be as good as other drugs
won the market in tests with dogs
it developed glaucoma.
DMC also has the added benefit
of producting few of the undesirable
effects such as eye irritation and
pupil contraction, adds Chiou.
Chiou and graduate student John
Liu also want to explore a combined
dosage of DMC and another drug
already on the market, timolol.
Each has reduced side effects, but
works in a different manner.
The researchers believe tests
could show that a combined dosage
to be better since results from re
duced doses of each drug could be
obtained with few if any side effects.
Glaucoma is caused by buildup of
pressure in the fluid of the eye. Un
treated, the pressure eventually
deadens the optic nerve head, re
sulting in blindness.
Regular eye checkups arid atten
tion to such symptoms as sore eyes
and blurred vision will help detect
the disease. A simple medical test
can confirm it.
Although glaucoma usually occurs
in persons over age 40, Chiou says it
can develop in people as young as
20.
