[Comparison of 0.1% dipivalyl epinephrine and 1% epinephrine in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension].
The effect of 0.1% dipivalyl epinephrine on intraocular pressure was compared with 1% epinephrine in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In this study, the two drugs significantly lowered intraocular pressure, with no significant differences being observed. In dipivalyl epinephrine group, no significant ocular or systemic adverse reactions, including heart rate and blood pressure, were observed except mild dilation of pupil.
