    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor as the fourth drug In the intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with primary glaucoma. METHODS: This was a prospective study involving 25 patients Accompanied at the Federal University of São Paulo with primary glaucoma and Treated concomitantly with the following topical medications: Prostaglandin, beta-blocker, alpha-adrenergic agonist and anhydrase inhibitor Carbonic acid. The patients were recruited between August and November Initially underwent the complete ophthalmic examination and the IOP was measured at 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Then the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor was suspended For 15 days and, after this period, the patients were reassessed for measurement Of IOP. RESULTS: The majority of the patients were female, white, with a Mean age of 66.4 ± 9.7 years. Suspension of the fourth medication had a Was statistically significant at peak IOP (1.20 mmHg increase, p <0.01) and Mean IOP (1.23mmHg increase, p <0.01), but did not significantly interfere In its morning fluctuation (p = 0.83). After discontinuation of the fourth drug, the IOP Increased ? 2 mmHg in 32% of the patients and there was a significant increase in IOP (Defined as ?20%) in only 5 patients (20%). Advanced age (greater than 60 years) was the only factor among those analyzed that showed an association With IOP variation after discontinuation of the fourth drug (R2 = 0.19; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Removal of the fourth medication had a statistically significant Significant difference in IOP control. However, this increase does not seem to have been clinically meaningful, since not only the mean variation was small (<1.3 MmHg), but also the majority of the patients (80%) presented no increase Significant difference in IOP (defined as IOP variation ?20%).
