What is the most appropriate explanation as to why dipivefrin hydrochloride (Propine) effectively decreases intraocular pressure?
1. The exact mechanism is not fully understood.
2. It decreases the formation of aqueous humor.
3. It reduces plasma volume very quickly.
4. It converts to epinephrine and increases outflow of aqueous humor.

Rationale 1: Beta-blocking agents decrease the formation of aqueous humor, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood.
Rationale 2: Beta-blocking agents decrease the formation of aqueous humor, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood.
Rationale 3:Osmotic diuretics reduce plasma volume very quickly.
Rationale 4: Sympathomimetic drugs such as dipivefrin (Propine) convert to epinephrine and produce mydriasis, which is the increased outflow of aqueous humor and the subsequent fall of IOP.
Global Rationale: Sympathomimetic drugs such as dipivefrin (Propine) convert to epinephrine and produce mydriasis, which is the increased outflow of aqueous humor and the subsequent fall of IOP.
