# A person with glaucoma should not receive:
a. Sedatives
b. Vasoconstrictors
c. Anti-sialogogues
d. Local anesthetics
The correct answer is C. Anti-sialogogues.
Antimuscarinic mydriatics like tropicamide, cyclopentolate, etc. produce both mydriasis and cycloplegia, and tend to raise i.o.p. in glaucoma patients. Therefore, antimuscarinics are to be avoided in glaucoma patients.
