Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/pro/tropicamide.html

Tropicamide (Mydriacyl) is an anticholinergic used as a mydriatic.Tropicamide belongs to the group of medicines called anti-muscarinics. Tropicamide blocks the receptors in the muscles of the eye (muscarinic receptors). These receptors are involved controlling the pupil size and the shape of the lens. By blocking these receptors, tropicamide produces dilatation of the pupil (mydriasis) and prevents the eye from accommodating for near vision (cycloplegia). Tropicamide is given as eye drops to dilate the pupil and relax the lens so that eye examinations can be carried out thoroughly.

Sample Use Guides

Usual Adult Dose for Refraction Cycloplegic Refraction: -Instill 1 or 2 drops of the 1% solution into eye(s); repeat in 5 minutes. Comment: -An additional drop may be given if the examination is not done within 20 to 30 minutes. Usual Adult Dose for Pupillary Dilation Fundoscopy: -Instill 1 or 2 drops of 0.5% solution into eye(s) 15 or 20 minutes prior to examination. Comments: -Heavily pigmented irides may require higher strength or more doses. Usual Pediatric Dose for Refraction Cycloplegic Refraction: -Instill 1 or 2 drops of the 1% solution into eye(s); repeat in 5 minutes.
Route of Administration: Topical
