Tropic 1% Drops

Tropic 1% Drops is a drops made by Sante Limited that contains Tropicamide 1%, a pupil-dilating eye drop. It is used for eye examination. Pack size: 15ml drops.

Uses of Tropic 1% Drops

Tropic 1% Drops are used by eye doctors and optometrists to widen the pupil before an eye examination. A larger pupil gives a clear view of the retina, optic nerve and lens, helping to check for conditions such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma and cataracts. It is sometimes combined with phenylephrine for a stronger effect.

How Tropic 1% Drops works

Tropicamide is an antimuscarinic medicine that temporarily relaxes the muscle that makes the pupil smaller. It also briefly reduces the eye’s ability to focus on near objects. The effect starts quickly and wears off within a few hours.

Possible side effects

Effects of Tropic 1% Drops are expected and wear off as the drops do. They include:

• Blurred vision, especially for close work
• Sensitivity to bright light
• Stinging when the drops go in
• Mild headache

Seek urgent help for eye pain, redness and headache with blurred vision or halos, which could indicate a sudden rise in eye pressure. In children, report restlessness, flushing or a fast heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not drive until your vision has returned to normal, and wear sunglasses in bright light.
• Tell the examiner if you have, or have been told you are at risk of, angle-closure glaucoma.
• Children, especially infants, can be more sensitive to effects in the rest of the body.
• Remove contact lenses before the drops are given.
• Let the examiner know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
