Bunazosin (INN) is anα1-adrenergic receptorantagonist.[1] Bunazosin was initially developed to treat benignprostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It has been approved inJapan in a topical form to treatglaucoma. The mechanism of action is a reduction of aqueous outflow through the uveoscleral pathway resulting in lowering the intraocular pressure. It also may act to improve blood flow to theocular nerve. Systemic Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists have been implicated in Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS). Bunazosin potentially could have the same effect but there has been no research to substantiate this as a risk forcataract surgery.
