Tropicacyl Eye Drop 5 ml 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.’ Tropicacyl Eye Drop 5 ml 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 Tropicacyl Eye Drop 5 ml 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).
