How Tropicacyl Plus Eye Drop Works

• Tropicamide is an anticholinergic drug that inhibits the activity of the parasympathetic nerve systems on the eye’s muscles, particularly the iris muscle. It causes dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) as well as paralysis of the ciliary muscles (cycloplegia) that can reduce the eye’s ability to focus for a short period of time.
• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic drug that stimulates the dilator muscles in the iris, which increases the effect of pupil dilation. Additionally, it decreases redness through constricting blood vessels within the eye.

Together, they give rapid and reliable pupil dilation during ophthalmic exams and for certain treatment interventions.
