dipivefrin and Cicatrization

dipivefrin has been researched along with Cicatrization in 2 studies

dipivefrin: used in treatment of both primary & open angle glaucoma; RN given refers to (+-)-isomer
dipivefrin : The dipivalate ester of (+-)-epinephrine (racepinephrine). A pro-drug of epinephrine, the hydrochloride is used topically as eye drops to reduce intra-ocular pressure in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Cicatrization: The formation of fibrous tissue in the place of normal tissue during the process of WOUND HEALING. It includes scar tissue formation occurring in healing internal organs as well as in the skin after surface injuries.
