It slows down the rate at which food is absorbed from the stomach, preventing sharp spikes in blood sugar levels after meals

Several retrospective studies associated the drug class with lower glaucoma risk and reduced ocular hypertension incidence, while preclinical work demonstrated reduced retinal ganglion cell loss and optic nerve damage in experimental models. The experimental literature also points to inflammatory modulation, oxidative stress reduction and retinal ganglion cell survival pathways as possible mechanisms. Smaller studies evaluating IIH and DED reported reductions in intracranial pressure and improved ocular surface parameters, respectively, among treated patients.
