The session centered around three questions: What is the evidence that the pathophysiology of ocular hypertension is cell mediated, how do outflow cells deal with stress, and how does the aqueous humor enter Schlemm's canal? The discussion revealed several areas in which research could aid in our
The risk of drug-induced rhabdomyolysis due to the potential interaction between lovastatin and azithromycin or clarithromycin should be considered before the concomitant use of these agents.
