    NEW ZEALAND DATA SHEET 1. PRODUCT NAME IOPIDINE® (apraclonidine hydrochloride) Eye Drops 0.5%. 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each mL of Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% contains apraclonidine hydrochloride 5.75 mg, equivalent to apraclonidine base 5 mg. Excipient with known effect Benzalkonium chloride 0.1 mg per 1 mL as a preservative. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 2. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Eye drops, solution, sterile, isotonic. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1. Therapeutic indications Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% are indicated for short-term adjunctive therapy in patients on maximally tolerated medical therapy who require additional IOP reduction. Patients on maximally tolerated medical therapy who are treated with Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% to delay surgery should have frequent follow up examinations and treatment should be discontinued if the intraocular pressure rises significantly. The addition of Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% to patients already using two aqueous suppressing drugs (i.e. beta-blocker plus carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) as part of their maximally tolerated medical therapy may not provide additional benefit. This is because apraclonidine is an aqueous-suppressing drug and the addition of a third aqueous suppressant may not significantly reduce IOP. The IOP-lowering efficacy of Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% diminishes over time in some patients. This loss of effect, or tachyphylaxis, appears to be an individual occurrence with a variable time of onset and should be closely monitored. The benefit for most patients is less than one month. 4.2. Dose and method of administration Dose One drop of Iopidine Eye Drops 0.5% should be instilled into the affected eye(s) three times per day.

  • IOPIDINE® 0.5% (Apraclonidine Ophthalmic Solution) 0.5% As Base
    IOPIDINE® 0.5% (apraclonidine ophthalmic solution) 0.5% As Base DESCRIPTION: IOPIDINE® 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution contains apraclonidine hydrochloride, an alpha adrenergic agonist, in a sterile isotonic solution for topical application to the eye. Apraclonidine hydrochloride is a white to off-white powder and is highly soluble in water. Its chemical name is 2-[(4-amino-2,6 dichlorophenyl) imino]imidazolidine monohydrochloride with an empirical formula of C9H11Cl3N4 and a molecular weight of 281.57. The chemical structure of apraclonidine hydrochloride is: Each mL of IOPIDINE 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution contains: Active: apraclonidine hydrochloride 5.75 mg equivalent to apraclonidine base 5 mg; . Inactives: sodium chloride, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid (pH 4.4-7.8), purified water and benzalkonium chloride 0.01% (preservative) CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Apraclonidine hydrochloride is a relatively selective alpha- 2-adrenergic agonist. When instilled in the eye, IOPIDINE 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution, has the action of reducing elevated, as well as normal, intraocular pressure (IOP), whether or not accompanied by glaucoma. Ophthalmic apraclonidine has minimal effect on cardiovascular parameters. Elevated IOP presents a major risk factor in glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss. IOPIDINE 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution has the action of reducing IOP. The onset of action of apraclonidine can usually be noted within one hour, and maximum IOP reduction occurs about three hours after instillation. Aqueous fluorophotometry studies demonstrate that apraclonidine's predominant mechanism of action is reduction of aqueous flow via stimulation of the alpha-adrenergic system.
