Iopidine (Apraclonidine) Information

Iopidine contains the active ingredient apraclonidine and is an eye medication used to lower high pressure inside the eye. It is commonly used in people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, especially after laser eye procedures, when eye pressure may rise suddenly. Iopidine is used as eye drops and works directly in the eye to protect the optic nerve and help prevent vision loss. It is usually intended for short-term use because its effects can weaken over time.

The mechanism of action of apraclonidine involves stimulation of alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye, which help control aqueous humour production. It reduces the amount of fluid produced inside the eye and helps fluid drain more easily. This lowers pressure inside the eye. Although the medication is applied to the eye, small amounts may enter the bloodstream, which can sometimes cause effects outside the eye.
