Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication, lubrication, or irrigation to the eyes to treat a range of ophthalmic conditions. This compounded formulation is available in concentrations of 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.05%.

This topical medication is used to treat a variety of eye conditions including uveitis, iritis, cycloplegia, and mydriasis. It is also effective in reducing intraocular pressure in cases of glaucoma. The solution works by blocking the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is responsible for pupil constriction. This allows the pupil to remain dilated, which can reduce pain and inflammation in the eye, and also lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients.

Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is generally well tolerated, with few side effects. Common side effects include temporary blurred vision, dry eyes, and sensitivity to light. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects such as eye pain, redness, and vision changes. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication to the eyes to treat a range of ophthalmic conditions. This compounded formulation is available in concentrations of 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.05%.

Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is a topical medication primarily used to treat conditions such as uveitis, iritis, and cycloplegia. It is also effective in the treatment of amblyopia, commonly known as "lazy eye". The solution works by temporarily paralyzing the ciliary muscle of the eye, which allows for improved focus.

The administration of Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is typically done through eye drops. The patient is advised to tilt their head back and pull down their lower eyelid to form a pocket. The drops are then administered into this pocket, one drop at a time. After application, the patient should close their eye and press their finger against the corner of the eye for 1-2 minutes. This process aids in the absorption of the medication into the eye.

It is important to note that Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution should not be used by individuals who are allergic to any of its ingredients. Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, or for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
