dipivefrin and Conjunctival Diseases

dipivefrin has been researched along with Conjunctival Diseases in 4 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.

Conjunctival Diseases: Diseases involving the CONJUNCTIVA.

( Alm, A; Mäepea, O; Widengård, I, 1998)
"Dipivefrin hydrochloride is a lipophilic prodrug for epinephrine hydrochloride, allowing lower concentration of the drug to achieve the same intraocular pressure lowering effect and having also less harmful effects than epinephrine hydrochloride."1.29Corneal vascularization and opacification during long-term use of dipivefrin.
