Product Elements:
Mydriacyl tropicamide tropicamide tropicamide benzalkonium chloride sodium chloride edetate disodium hydrochloric acid sodium hydroxide water carton label label
Drug Interactions:
Drug interactions tropicamide may interfere with the antihypertensive action of carbachol, pilocarpine, or ophthalmic cholinesterase inhibitors.
Indications and Usage:
Indications and usage for mydriasis and cycloplegia for diagnostic procedures.
Warnings:
Warnings for topical ophthalmic use only. not for injection. this preparation may cause cns disturbances which may be dangerous in pediatric patients. the possibility of psychotic reactions and behavioral disturbances due to hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs should be considered. mydriatics may produce a transient elevation of intraocular pressure. remove contact lenses before using.
General Precautions:
General the lacrimal sac should be compressed by digital pressure for two to three minutes after instillation to reduce excessive systemic absorption.
Dosage and Administration:
Dosage and administration for refraction, instill one or two drops of 1% solution in the eye(s), repeated in five minutes. if patient is not seen within 20 to 30 minutes, an additional drop may be instilled to prolong mydriatic effect. for examination of fundus, instill one or two drops of 0.5% solution 15 or 20 minutes prior to examination. individuals with heavily pigmented irides may require higher strength or more doses. mydriasis will reverse spontaneously with time, typically in 4 to 8 hours. however, in some cases, complete recovery may take up to 24 hours.
Contraindications:
Contraindications contraindicated in persons showing hypersensitivity to any component of this preparation.
Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions ocular: transient stinging, blurred vision, photophobia and superficial punctuate keratitis have been reported with the use of tropicamide. increased intraocular pressure has been reported following the use of mydriatics. non-ocular: dryness of the mouth, tachycardia, headache, allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, pallor, central nervous system disturbances and muscle rigidity have been reported with the use of tropicamide. psychotic reactions, behavioral disturbances, and vasomotor or cardiorespiratory collapse in children have been reported with the use of anticholinergic drugs.
Drug Interactions:
Drug interactions tropicamide may interfere with the antihypertensive action of carbachol, pilocarpine, or ophthalmic cholinesterase inhibitors.
Use in Pregnancy:
Pregnancy animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with tropicamide. it is also not known whether tropicamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. tropicamide should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Pediatric Use:
Pediatric use tropicamide may rarely cause cns disturbances which may be dangerous in pediatric patients. psychotic reactions, behavioral disturbances, and vasomotor or cardiorespiratory collapse in children have been reported with the use of anticholinergic drugs (see warnings ). keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
Geriatric Use:
Geriatric use no overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.
Description:
Description mydriacyl⢠(tropicamide ophthalmic solution, usp) is an anticholinergic prepared as a sterile topical ophthalmic solution in two strengths. the active ingredient is represented by the chemical structure: each ml of mydriacyl⢠(tropicamide ophthalmic solution, usp) contains: active: tropicamide 1%. preservative: benzalkonium chloride 0.01%. inactives: sodium chloride, edetate disodium, hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide (to adjust ph), purified water. ph range 4.0 - 5.8. chemical
Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology this anticholinergic preparation blocks the responses of the sphincter muscle of the iris and the ciliary muscle to cholinergic stimulation, dilating the pupil (mydriasis). the stronger preparation (1%) also paralyzes accommodation. this preparation acts in 15-30 minutes, and the duration of activity is approximately 3-8 hours. complete recovery from mydriasis in some individuals may require 24 hours. the weaker strength may be useful in producing mydriasis with only slight cycloplegia. heavily pigmented irides may require more doses than lightly pigmented irides.
Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility:
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility there have been no long-term studies done using tropicamide in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential.
