Treatments Being Tested
Ripasudil
Glanatec Ophthalmic Solution 0.4% W/V with ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate as active ingredient is currently being used by patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Inhibition of Rho kinase to facilitate aqueous outflow from the conventional outflow pathway via the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal has been suggested as the IOP-lowering mechanism of action by ripasudil.
