Tmide Eye Drop is used before eye examinations and to treat an eye condition called uveitis. It acts by enlarging the pupil of the eyes and helps the doctor visualize the eye more closely. It reduces redness and swelling in the eyes after cataract surgery.


Tmide Eye Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Refrain from touching the tip of the dropper to any surface to avoid contaminating the eye drops.


Common side effects include stinging sensation, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Usually, these symptoms are temporary and resolve with time. However, if the symptoms persist for a longer duration, let your doctor know. Avoid driving right after using this medicine as it may cause blurring of the vision.



Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

As a parasympathetic antagonist, tropicamide exerts its dilatory effects by acting on the pupillary sphincter muscle to cause its relaxation. [9] Like other anticholinergic agents, tropicamide inhibits the parasympathetic drive, allowing the sympathetic actions to dominate

Pharmacokinets

This medication is used to widen (dilate) the pupil of the eye in preparation for certain eye examinations. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. Tropicamide works by relaxing certain eye muscles

Side Effects

Stinging in the eyes

Blurred vision

Dryness in mouth

Contra Indications

Tropicamide is contraindicated in narrow angle glaucoma and in eyes where the filtration angle is narrow, as an acute attack of angle closure glaucoma may be precipitated. Use with caution in an inflamed eye, as hyperaemia greatly increases the rate of systemic absorption through the conjunctiva
