About Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml

Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml is indicated to control the progression of myopia (near-sightedness) in children. Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is when the farther objects appear blurry, but the near objects appear clearly.

Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml contains ‘atropine’, which works by modulating dopamine release and reduces the progression of myopia. It paralyses the ciliary muscles and inhibits accommodation to allow accurate refraction in children.

In some cases, Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml may cause side effects such as dry mouth, dilated pupils, and sensitivity to light. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not use Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml if your child is allergic to any of its components. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper as it might contaminate the contents. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition and medications to prevent any side effects/interactions.

What if I have taken an overdose of Myopin Pead Eye Drops 5 ml

Due to low expected systemic passage of atropine, overdose is not expected. However, a risk of overdose cannot be excluded. Symptoms of systemic atropine toxicity include flushing of the face, dry skin (red rash may occur in children), blurred vision, accelerated or irregular heartbeat, fever, abdominal distention, constipation, delirium, uncoordinated nerves and muscles, trance and long-term mydriasis in the elderly. In case of overdose, rinse with water or 0.9% normal saline water. Call your doctor or get medical care right away.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Myopia: Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is when the farther objects appear blurry, but the near objects appear clearly. This condition occurs when the shape of the eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, leading to focusing images in front of the retina instead of on the retina. This condition may develop rapidly or gradually.
