Atrapar Eye Drop

Atrapar Eye Drop is used to treat uveitis or iritis (inflammation of the eye) and myopia (nearsightedness). Uveitis is swelling inside the eye that causes pain and blurry vision. Myopia is a condition where you can see close objects clearly, but distant ones appear blurry.

Atrapar Eye Drop contains ‘atropine’, which relaxes the muscles in the eye, thereby making the pupil of the eye appear larger. This makes it easier for an eye examination.

In some cases, you may experience specific common side effects such as dry mouth, palpitations, nausea, constipation, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult a doctor before using Atrapar Eye Drop if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medications you are taking to avoid any side effects or potential interactions.

Atrapar Eye Drop is used in the treatment of eye conditions involving inflammation, muscle paralysis, and diagnostic procedures. The detailed uses of Atrapar Eye Drop are as follows:

• Treatment of uveitis or iritis: Atrapar Eye Drop reduces inflammation and pain in conditions affecting the middle layer of the eye.
• Management of cycloplegia: Atrapar Eye Drop is used to paralyse the ciliary muscle, allowing accurate measurement of refractive errors.
• Control of myopia: Atrapar Eye Drop is used in certain cases to reduce the progression of near-sightedness.
• Treatment of amblyopia: Atrapar Eye Drop improves vision in a weaker eye by temporarily blurring vision in the stronger eye.
• Pupil dilation for examination: Atrapar Eye Drop is used to widen the pupil, allowing better visualisation of the inner structures of the eye.
• Support in eye surgery preparation: Atrapar Eye Drop is used to relax eye muscles and dilate the pupil before specific ophthalmic procedures.

• Use it as directed by your doctor or as instructed on the label.
• Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Gently pull your lower eyelid with your index finger to create a pocket. Instil the number of drops advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Avoid touching the container tip to the eye or eyelids to prevent contamination.

• Atrapar Eye Drop belongs to a group of medicines called mydriatics and cycloplegics, used to treat uveitis or iritis (inflammation of the eye) and myopia (nearsightedness).
• Atrapar Eye Drop is also used before specific eye examinations to dilate the pupil, aiding in the diagnosis of eye problems such as blurred vision in children under 6 years old and in children with convergent strabismus (also known as cross-eyes or squint).
• Atrapar Eye Drop relaxes the muscles in the eye, thereby making the pupil of the eye appear larger. This makes it easier for an eye examination.
• Atrapar Eye Drop reduces pain and allows the inflamed part of the eye to rest and recover by relaxing the eye muscles.
• It is also indicated for cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary eye muscle), mydriasis (dilation of the pupil), and for the penalisation of the healthy eye in the treatment of amblyopia (decreased eyesight due to abnormal vision development).

• Do not use Atrapar Eye Drop if you are allergic to any of its components, if you have closed-angle or narrow-angle glaucoma.
• Inform your doctor if you have a fever, heart problems, glaucoma, ocular hypertension, kidney or liver problems.
• Consult a doctor before using Atrapar Eye Drop if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Atrapar Eye Drop might cause blurred vision; so, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear.
• Inform your doctor if you haven’t had your eyes checked recently.
