Glaucoma medication during pregnancy and nursing.

Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol (2010) PMID 20480749

Risks that glaucoma medications pose to the fetus and neonate must be balanced against the risk of vision loss in the mother. There is no high level evidence for harmful effects on the fetus and neonate of medications used to treat glaucoma. All topical and systemic glaucoma medication should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy. Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, topical prostaglandin analogues and antimetabolites during surgery should be avoided absolutely. Some topical medications are deemed compatible with lactation by the American Academy of Pediatrics, however, caution should still be practiced.

    NF-kappaB1 p105 functions both as a precursor of NF-kappaB1 p50 and as a cytoplasmic inhibitor of NF-kappaB. Following the stimulation of cells with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex rapidly phosphorylates NF-kappaB1 p105 on serine 927 in the PEST region. This...
