Tropicamide

Drug Details

Tropicamide, also known as Mydriacyl, is a medication primarily used to dilate the pupil for eye examinations and diagnostic procedures. As an anticholinergic drug, it functions by relaxing certain muscles in the eye, which not only widens the pupil but also temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for focusing. This action facilitates thorough eye inspections and assists healthcare providers in diagnosing various eye conditions.
