Atropine is used before eye examinations to dilate (open) the pupil. |
 |
Product Description:
Atropine
is used in the eye as a mydriatic to dilate the pupil and as a cycloplegic to
cause accommodation paralysis in the control of pain secondary to corneal or
uveal disease.
Atropine
belongs to the group of medicines called anti-muscarinics. Atropine blocks the
receptors in the muscles of the eye (muscarinic receptors). These receptors are
involved in controlling the pupil size and the shape of the lens. By blocking
these receptors, atropine produces dilatation of the pupil and prevents the eye
from accommodating for near vision. Atropine is given as eye drops to dilate the
pupil and relax the lens so that eye examinations can be carried out thorough.
Dosage and Administration:
Medication should never be administered without first
consulting your veterinarian.
Dosing frequency for atropine is highly variable, depending
upon the desired degree of pupil dilation and the responsiveness of the iris.
The more inflammation present, the more resistant the iris is to dilation.
For mild to moderate corneal ulcers and anterior uveitis, the
drug may be given 1 to 3 times daily.
The duration of administration depends on the condition being
treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects.

Atropine Sulfate 1% Lanolin, White Petrolatun,
