Iopidine Solution

Generic Name: Apraclonidine Ophthalmic Solution (1%) (app-rah-KLOE-nih-deen)
Brand Name: Iopidine

Iopidine Solution is used for:

Controlling or preventing high fluid pressure within the eye following certain types of eye surgery.

Iopidine Solution is an alpha-adrenergic agonist. It works by decreasing fluid formation inside the eye, which helps to lower the pressure inside the eye.

Do NOT use Iopidine Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Iopidine Solution or to similar medicines (eg, clonidine)
you are taking or have taken a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

if you have recently had a heart attack or you have a history of heart disease or other heart problems, high or low blood pressure, blood vessel problems, brain blood vessel problems (eg, stroke), kidney problems, or liver problems
if you have a history of rapid fall in heart rate or blood pressure

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Iopidine Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), narcotic pain medicine (eg, codeine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because the risk of drowsiness may be increased
Beta-blocker eye drops (eg, timolol), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), digoxin, or medicines for high blood pressure because side effects such as low blood pressure and slow heartbeat may be increased by Iopidine Solution
MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of high blood pressure may be increased

Use Iopidine Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Iopidine Solution is for use in the eye only. Avoid contact with other mucous membranes.
To use Iopidine Solution, first, wash your hands. Tilt your head back. Using your index finger, pull the lower eyelid away from the eye to form a pouch. Drop the medicine into the pouch and gently close your eyes. Immediately use your finger to apply pressure to the inside corner of the eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not blink. Remove excess medicine around your eye with a clean tissue, being careful not to touch your eye. Wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them. To prevent germs from contaminating your medicine, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface, including your eye. Keep the container tightly closed.
Wait 5 minutes before using any additional eye drop medicines to prevent Iopidine Solution from being washed out of the eye.
