TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML

TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic and anti-muscarinic agents,’ primarily used to widen (dilate) the pupil for an eye examination or other diagnostic procedures. TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML is also used to treat uveitis. Uveitis is considered an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye called the uvea. Dilation of the pupil plays an important role in eye operative (intraocular) procedures like cataract (clouding of the lens of the eye) surgery to reduce complications during the operation and for better exposure of the cataract during surgery.

TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML contains ‘Tropicamide’ that belongs to the class of ‘Muscarinic Antagonists’ and ‘Mydriatics’ (that dilate pupils). Tropicamide is an anticholinergic agent that works by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activity (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells). This process further causes short-acting mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (temporary paralysis of the eye) that helps to properly examine different parts of the eye like the lens, vitreous humor, and retina.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML include blurry vision, dry mouth, eye sensitivity, and stinging sensation in the eyes. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML or any other medications. Before using TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML, let your doctor know if you have liver, kidney, or heart diseases, eye diseases like glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, and any other medical history. TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML may cause blurry vision, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Avoid the contact of TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML dispensing containers with eyes, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination. A pregnant and breastfeeding woman should consult their doctor before using TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML. 

TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML helps in the dilation of pupils for better observation of the structure of the eye. It contains ‘Tropicamide’ that belongs to the class of 'Muscarinic Antagonists’ and ‘Mydriatics.’ TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML is an anticholinergic agent that relaxes the eye muscles. It blocks the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activity, causing short-acting mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (temporary paralysis of the eye). This dilation helps properly examine various eye parts like a lens, vitreous humor, and retina. Mydriatics like TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML can also be used in inflammatory eye conditions, such as iritis (inflammation of the colored part of your eye (iris)) and cyclitis (a type of uveitis that affects the ciliary body of the eye).

• Blurry vision
• Dry mouth
• Dry eyes
• Eye sensitivity
• Stinging sensation in the eyes
• Increased pressure in the eye (which may cause headache)
• Psychotic reactions and behavioral disturbances (especially in children)

Inform your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney diseases, glaucoma, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases (irregular heart rhythm, coronary artery disease), Down syndrome (a genetic disorder), brain damage, and spastic paralysis (spastic paralysis) in children before starting the medicine. TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML may cause blurry vision and make your eyes sensitive in daylight; hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Always use dark sunglasses when you step outdoors in daylight. After administering eye drops, press gently on the eyelid's inner corner for 3 minutes to prevent the solution from draining into the nose and throat and avoid systemic absorption, especially in children. Avoid the contact of TROPICACYL DROPS 5ML dispensing containers with eyes, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination. Let your doctor know if you plan to become pregnant or already pregnant and a nursing mother.
