What is Tropicamide?
Active Ingredients: Tropicamide
Tropicamide Eye Drops are a drug used to dilate the pupil of the eye and reduce the eye's reactivity to light. This medication is used before certain eye procedures, like cycloplegic refraction, fundus examination or eye surgery. This drug is sometimes prescribed to treat ciliary muscle spasms.
Tropicamide is classified as an anticholinergic. It works by blocking the muscarinic receptors in the eye, which relaxes the muscles in the eye and dilates the pupil.
