Description
Atropine Eye Drop 10ml Ashford contains atropine sulfate, a medication used in ophthalmology.
It is primarily used to dilate the pupil (mydriasis) during eye examinations or before and after eye surgery.
Atropine belongs to the class of drugs called anticholinergics or antimuscarinics. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on the muscles in the eye, causing the pupil to widen and the eye’s focusing muscle to relax.
The drops are applied directly into the eye, usually as prescribed by an eye care professional.
Dosage and frequency depend on the specific indication and patient response but typically involve instilling one or two drops into the affected eye(s).
Common side effects may include blurred vision, light sensitivity, eye irritation, and discomfort.
Contraindications include hypersensitivity to atropine or other anticholinergic drugs, angle-closure glaucoma, and certain eye infections.
Care should be taken in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, as atropine can increase eye pressure.
Store the eye drops at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.
