    This document summarizes various medications used to treat glaucoma by either dilating the pupil, constricting the pupil, or reducing intraocular pressure. It separates the medications by color-coded caps and lists their mechanisms of action, such as blocking muscarinic receptors, increasing aqueous outflow, decreasing aqueous production, or making plasma hypertonic. The document also covers anti-allergic medications, antibiotics, and steroids that may be used as adjunctive glaucoma treatments.
