Mydriacyl Eye Drops Information:

Buy Mydriacyl Eye Drops

Mydriacyl Eye Drops (Tropicamide) is used alone or with other medications to dilate the pupil of the eye and also prevent the eye from focusing, typically to diagnose certain eye conditions or in conditions where short-term pupil dilation is needed. This pupil dilation allows for better examination of the retina and other structures at the back of the eye during eye exams or diagnostic procedures. Mydriacyl Eye Drops contain the active ingredient Tropicamide, which belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics. Tropicamide works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. By inhibiting the effects of acetylcholine in the muscles of the eye, Tropicamide relaxes the muscles that control the size of the pupil, leading to pupil dilation.
