 # 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.
