Tropicacyl 1% W/V Eye Drops 5Ml 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. Tropicacyl 1% W/V Eye Drops 5Ml 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.

Tropicacyl 1% W/V Eye Drops 5Ml 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 humor, and retina.

Pupil dilation and uveitis.

Tropicacyl 1% W/V Eye Drops 5Ml helps in the dilation of pupils for better observation of the structure of the eye.

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 a lens, vitreous humor, and retina. Mydriatics like Tropicacyl 1% W/V Eye Drops 5Ml 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).
