Tropicamide (Tropicamide Ophthalmic) - Indications and Dosage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

For mydriasis and cycloplegia for diagnostic procedures.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

For refraction, instill one or two drops of 1% solution in the eye(s), repeated in five minutes. If patient is not seen within 20 to 30 minutes, an additional drop may be instilled to prolong mydriatic effect. For examination of fundus, instill one or two drops of 0.5% solution 15 or 20 minutes prior to examination. Individuals with heavily pigmented irides may require higher strength or more doses. Mydriasis will reverse spontaneously with time, typically in 4 to 8 hours. However, in some cases, complete recovery may take up to 24 hours.
