Tropin 0.01%W/V Paed Eye Drops 5Ml 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.
Tropin 0.01%W/V Paed Eye Drops 5Ml 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, Tropin 0.01%W/V Paed Eye Drops 5Ml 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 Tropin 0.01%W/V Paed Eye Drops 5Ml 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.
