Tropac Eye Drop

Product Description

About TROPAC DROPS

TROPAC DROPS 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. TROPAC DROPS 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.

TROPAC DROPS 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 TROPAC DROPS 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 TROPAC DROPS or any other medications. Before using TROPAC DROPS, 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. TROPAC DROPS may cause blurry vision, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Avoid the contact of TROPAC DROPS dispensing containers with eyes, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination. A pregnant and breastfeeding woman should consult their doctor before using TROPAC DROPS.

Uses of TROPAC DROPS

Pupil dilation and uveitis.

Medicinal Benefits

TROPAC DROPS 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.’ TROPAC DROPS 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 TROPAC DROPS 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).

Directions for Use

Eye drops: Tilt your head back and pull your lower eyelid downwards and outwards. Gently squeeze the dropper and put the prescribed number of eye drops inside the eye/eyes. Blink a few times to allow the spreading of liquid in the eye. It is advisable to press gently on the inner corner of the eyelid for 3 minutes to prevent the solution from draining into the nose and throat especially in children. If you are using more than one drop, it is advised to wait for about 5 minutes between drops.

Storage
