Mannitol is used to treat cerebral edema caused by various reasons, reduce intracranial pressure, prevent brain herniation, but also can effectively reduce intraocular pressure, applied to other intraocular pressure-lowering drugs are ineffective, or intraocular surgery, such as pre-preparation. Drug resistance is a decrease in the effectiveness of a drug in treating a disease or improving symptoms. When insufficient concentrations of a drug are used to kill or inhibit a pathogen, residual bacteria may have the ability to resist such a drug.
