Cyporin DS 5ml

• Eye examination (mydriasis and cycloplegia)
• Uveitis

Cyclopentolate is an anticholinergic agent that induces relaxation of the sphincter of the iris and the ciliary muscles. When applied topically to the eyes, it causes a rapid, intense cycloplegic and mydriatic effect that is maximal in 15 to 60 minutes; recovery usually occurs within 24 hours. The cycloplegic and mydriatic effects are slower in onset and longer in duration in patients who have dark pigmented irises.

Adults and children over 1 year: 1 drop instilled in the affected eye(s), repeated after 5 minutes if necessary. Administer 40-50 minutes prior to the procedure.

Infants <3 months: Not recommended.

Patients with heavily pigmented irises may require larger doses.
