Ocular hypotensive effects of medifoxamine.

Saleh S, Turner P.

Department of Clinical Pharmacology, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London.

Medifoxamine is a novel monoamine re-uptake inhibiting antidepressive drug which preferentially inhibits dopamine reuptake. In human volunteer studies it has been found to reduce significantly intraocular pressure after single oral doses of 300-1000 mg, and to produce a small but statistically significant miosis. Its maximal ocular hypotensive action was less than that of oral timolol 20 mg.
