Patient Screening

Have you screened your patients for coexisting systemic conditions and medications?

Many glaucoma patients have additional medical conditions. It's important to ask your patients about their other medical conditions, as well as what prescriptions they take. This will allow you to determine which patients have coexisting systemic conditions so you can choose a glaucoma treatment that won't interfere with their medications or adversely affect their pre-existing conditions.

Has your patient been diagnosed with any of the following?

Cardiovascular disorders, such as arteriosclerosis, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, pulmonary disease, or hypertension
Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes
Lung disorders, such as asthma or COPD
Other disorders, including sexual dysfunction or anxiety/depression

It's also important to discuss your patient's family medical history, as many conditions are hereditary. The more information you have, the better the treatment you can offer your patients.

Communication is key!

Please contact your Allergan Sales Representative for corresponding patient screening materials.
