MYDOLATE EYE DROP 15ML

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:

1. Eye Examinations: It is used to dilate the pupil of the eye during eye examinations or diagnostic procedures, such as fundoscopy or refraction tests.
2. 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).
3. 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:

1. Blurred Vision: Tropicamide may temporarily blur vision, particularly at near distances.
2. Increased Sensitivity to Light: Dilated pupils may increase sensitivity to light, leading to discomfort in bright environments.
3. Eye Irritation: Some individuals may experience mild eye irritation, burning, or stinging upon instillation of the eye drops.
4. 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.

2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: MYDOLATE EYE DROP should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly needed and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
