Description

Tropicamide 1% Eye Drops 15 mL is a mydriatic agent used primarily for inducing pupil dilation during ophthalmic examinations and diagnostic procedures. Tropicamide works by inhibiting the muscarinic receptors in the iris sphincter muscle, leading to temporary dilation of the pupil (mydriasis). This effect facilitates better visualization of the retina and other internal structures of the eye.

The primary indication for Tropicamide 1% Eye Drops is to aid in the assessment of the retina, vitreous body, and other ocular structures during eye exams. It is commonly used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures, such as fundoscopy, where clear visualization of the posterior segment of the eye is essential.

Common side effects of Tropicamide include transient stinging or burning upon administration, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light (photophobia) due to pupil dilation. In some cases, patients may experience increased intraocular pressure or allergic reactions, though these are rare.
