Guanethidine and adrenaline used in combination in chronic simple glaucoma

Abstract

Guanethidine 5 per cent. and adrenaline 0.25 per cent. or 0.05 per cent. drops were used together in an attempt to provide adequate control of intraocular pressure in eyes which had proved difficult to manage on other medical treatment. The results of the trial suggest that the combination was effective by virtue of the synergistic actions of guanethidine and adrenaline.
