About Tropac P Eye Drop

TROPICAMIDE+PHENYLEPHRINE belongs to the class of medications called ‘Ophthalmic agents’ used for examining the eye during the diagnosis or detection of any eye disease, or therapeutic procedures. It can help detect eye inflammation or any other eye diseases such as uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eyewall) or in the ophthalmoscopy procedures (retinal examination) or during eye surgeries.

TROPICAMIDE+PHENYLEPHRINE is a combination of two medicines: Tropicamide and Phenylephrine. Tropicamide is an anticholinergic while Phenylephrine is a decongestant. They work by making the pupil of your eye larger and relax the muscles in your eye. This allows proper examination of the inside of your eye.
