Tropicamide with Phenylephrine Opthalmic Solution | Ptrop Plus Eye Drops

Description:

Phenylephrine/Tropicamide is a combination of a mydriatic/cycloplegic drug. Phenylephrine is a synthetic sympathomimetic (adrenergic mydriatic) following topical application, phenylephrine brings about contraction of the radial muscle thereby bringing about dilation of the pupil. Tropicamide is a para sympatholytic drug which inhibits the contraction of the circular muscle and also paralyses the ciliary muscle. Tropicamide functions as a cycloplegic/mydriatic drug.
