Apraclonidine (INN), also known as Iopidine, is a sympathomimetic used in glaucoma therapy. It is an α₂-adrenergic agonist.

Apraclonidine is administered at a concentration of 1% for the prevention and treatment of postsurgical intraocular pressure elevation and 0.5% for short-term adjunctive therapy in patients on maximally tolerated medical therapy who require additional redirection of intraocular pressure. One drop is usually added one hour prior to laser eye surgery and another drop is given after the procedure is complete.

Clinical uses

Apraclonidine is indicated for the short-term adjunctive treatment of patients on maximally tolerated medical therapy who require additional IOP reduction. Patients on maximally tolerated medical therapy who are treated with apraclonidine to delay surgery should have frequent followup examinations and treatment should be discontinued if the intraocular pressure rises significantly.
