About TROPAC DROPS

TROPAC DROPS belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic and anti-muscarinic agents,’ primarily used to widen (dilate) the pupil for an eye examination or other diagnostic procedures. TROPAC DROPS is also used to treat uveitis. Uveitis is considered an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye called the uvea. Dilation of the pupil plays an important role in eye operative (intraocular) procedures like cataract (clouding of the lens of the eye) surgery to reduce complications during the operation and for better exposure of the cataract during surgery.

TROPAC DROPS contains ‘Tropicamide’ that belongs to the class of ‘Muscarinic Antagonists’ and ‘Mydriatics’ (that dilate pupils). Tropicamide is an anticholinergic agent that works by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activity (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells). This process further causes short-acting mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (temporary paralysis of the eye) that helps to properly examine different parts of the eye, like the lens, vitreous humour, and retina.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of TROPAC DROPS include blurry vision, dry mouth, eye sensitivity, and stinging sensations in the eyes. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and may differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to TROPAC DROPS or any other medications. Before using TROPAC DROPS, let your doctor know if you have liver, kidney, or heart diseases, eye diseases like glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other medical history. TROPAC DROPS may cause blurry vision, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Avoid contact of TROPAC DROPS with eyes, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination. A pregnant and breastfeeding woman should consult their doctor before using TROPAC DROPS.

Uses of TROPAC DROPS

TROPAC DROPS is used in the treatment of Pupil dilation and uveitis. The detailed uses of TROPAC DROPS are as follows:<br/>• Eye examinations: Helps doctors get a clearer view of the inner eye structures.<br/>• Treatment of uveitis: Reduces inflammation in the middle layer of the eye.<br/>• Post-surgery care: Eases redness and swelling after procedures like cataract surgery.<br/>

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
  • Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form 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 prevent contamination.

Medicinal Benefits

TROPAC DROPS helps in the dilation of pupils for better observation of the structure of the eye. It contains ‘Tropicamide’ that belongs to the class of 'Muscarinic Antagonists’ and ‘Mydriatics.’ TROPAC DROPS is an anticholinergic agent that relaxes the eye muscles. It blocks the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activity, causing short-acting mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (temporary paralysis of the eye). This dilation helps properly examine various eye parts like the lens, vitreous humour, and retina. Mydriatics like TROPAC DROPS can also be used in inflammatory eye conditions, such as iritis (inflammation of the colored part of your eye (iris)) and cyclitis (a type of uveitis that affects the ciliary body of the eye).

How TROPAC DROPS Works

TROPAC DROPS contains Tropicamide that belongs to the class of Muscarinic Antagonists and Mydriatics (that dilate pupils). Tropicamide is an anticholinergic agent that works by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activity (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells).

Storage

Keep out of sight and reach of children.

What if I have taken an overdose of TROPAC DROPS

Avoid exceeding the recommended dose as it might cause an overdose. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Drug Warnings

Inform your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney diseases, glaucoma, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases (irregular heart rhythm, coronary artery disease), Down syndrome (a genetic disorder), brain damage, and spastic paralysis (spastic paralysis) in children before starting the medicine. TROPAC DROPS may cause blurry vision and make your eyes sensitive in daylight; hence, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Always use dark sunglasses when you step outdoors in daylight. After administering eye drops, press gently on the eyelid's inner corner for 3 minutes to prevent the solution from draining into the nose and throat and avoid systemic absorption, especially in children. Avoid contact of TROPAC DROPS with eyes, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination.
