Iopidine Eye Drops (apraclonidine hydrochloride)

Indications

Iopidine Eye Drops are prescribed for the short-term treatment of glaucoma, specifically to control or prevent spikes in intraocular pressure following certain types of eye surgery. They are often used in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Ingredients

• Active Ingredient: Apraclonidine hydrochloride.
• Inactive Ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid (to adjust pH), and purified water.

Dosage and Administration

• Administer the eye rrops as directed by your healthcare provider, typically one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the drops.
• Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket without touching the dropper tip to your eye or skin.
• Close your eye and gently press the inner corner of your eye for 1-2 minutes to prevent the medication from draining into your tear duct.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye or hands, to prevent contamination.
• Avoid wearing contact lenses while using the eye drops, as the preservative (benzalkonium chloride) may be absorbed by soft lenses. Remove lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Do not use Iopidine Eye Drops if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.

Iopidine Eye Drops contain apraclonidine, an alpha-adrenergic agonist.
