Dipivefrin is a sympathomimetic used to treat glaucoma. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor
Why is Dipivefrin prescribed
Dipivefrin is used to treat chronic open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of the disease. In glaucoma, the fluid inside the eyeball is under abnormally high pressure, a condition which can cause vision problems or even blindness.
Dipivefrin belongs to a class of medication called "prodrugs," drugs that generally are not active by themselves, but are converted in the body to an active form. This makes for better absorption, stability, and comfort and reduces side effects.

How should you use Dipivefrin
Use this medication exactly as prescribed. If you use too much, or use it too often, Dipivefrin may cause side effects. Wash your hands before and after you use the eyedrops. Once the drops are in your eye, keep your eye closed for 1 to 2 minutes, applying pressure to the inside corner of your eye, so the medicine can be properly absorbed. To keep the medication free of contamination, do not touch the applicator tip to your eye or any other surface. A number appears on the cap of the dropper bottle to tell you what dose you are taking. When you are ready to take the first dose, make sure the number 1 appears in the window. After each dose, replace the cap and rotate it to the next number. Turn until you hear a click. --If you miss a dose...Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never apply more than 1 dose at a time. --Storage instructions...
