Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops

Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops contain Cyclopentolate as its active ingredient. Cyclopentolate is an anticholinergic medication used in ophthalmology to dilate the pupil (mydriasis) and temporarily paralyze the muscles of the eye (cycloplegia). These effects are beneficial during eye examinations and certain eye procedures.

Uses:

Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops are primarily used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in ophthalmology. They are commonly used to dilate the pupil for retinal examination, refraction tests, and other diagnostic procedures. Additionally, Cyclopentolate eye drops may be used to temporarily immobilize the ciliary muscles of the eye, facilitating accurate measurement of refractive errors.

Dosage:

The dosage of Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops depends on the specific purpose of use and individual patient response. For pupil dilation, one or two drops are typically instilled into the eye(s) several times, with intervals of 5 to 10 minutes between administrations, until the desired dilation is achieved. For cycloplegic refraction, the drops may be administered 30 to 60 minutes before the examination.

Side Effects:

Common side effects associated with Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops may include temporary stinging or burning sensation in the eyes, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and increased intraocular pressure. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own. However, patients should seek medical attention if they experience severe eye pain, changes in vision, or signs of allergic reactions.

Precautions:

Before using Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops, individuals should inform their healthcare provider about any pre-existing eye conditions, allergies, or medications they are currently taking. It is important to use caution when driving or operating machinery, as Cyclopentolate may cause temporary blurred vision and light sensitivity.

When Not to Use:

Cyclopen 10ml Eye Drops should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Cyclopentolate or any other components of the medication. They are also contraindicated in individuals with narrow-angle glaucoma or untreated intraocular inflammation.
