MYDOLATE EYE DROP 15ML contains the active ingredient Tropicamide, which is a medication used to dilate the pupil of the eye. It is formulated as eye drops for ophthalmic use. Tropicamide belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics, which work by blocking certain nerve impulses in the eye, leading to pupil dilation and temporary paralysis of the muscles that control focusing.
Uses:
MYDOLATE EYE DROP 15ML is prescribed for the following purposes:
- Eye Examinations: It is used to dilate the pupil of the eye during eye examinations or diagnostic procedures, such as fundoscopy or refraction tests.
- Treatment of Uveitis: Tropicamide may be used as part of the treatment regimen for uveitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the middle layer of the eye (uvea).
- Relief of Eye Pain: It can help relieve eye pain associated with certain eye conditions or injuries by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that control focusing and reducing strain on the eyes.
Side Effects:
While MYDOLATE EYE DROP 15ML is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
- Blurred Vision: Tropicamide may temporarily blur vision, particularly at near distances.
- Increased Sensitivity to Light: Dilated pupils may increase sensitivity to light, leading to discomfort in bright environments.
- Eye Irritation: Some individuals may experience mild eye irritation, burning, or stinging upon instillation of the eye drops.
- Increased Intraocular Pressure: Rarely, tropicamide may cause a temporary increase in intraocular pressure, particularly in individuals with predisposing factors for glaucoma.
It is important to seek medical attention if any severe or persistent side effects are experienced.
