tropicamide ophthalmic (cont.)

IN THIS ARTICLE

What happens if I miss a dose (Mydriacyl, Ocu-Tropic, Tropicacyl)?

Since tropicamide ophthalmic is usually given only during an eye exam, it is not likely that you will be on a dosing schedule.

What happens if I overdose (Mydriacyl, Ocu-Tropic, Tropicacyl)?

Rinse your eye with water and seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Symptoms of a tropicamide ophthalmic overdose may include headache, fast heartbeat, dry mouth and skin, unusual drowsiness, and warmth or redness under your skin.

What should I avoid while using tropicamide ophthalmic (Mydriacyl, Ocu-Tropic, Tropicacyl)?

Tropicamide ophthalmic may cause blurred vision, or make your eyes very sensitive to light. Be careful if you drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that requires you to see clearly. These effects can last for up to 24 hours.

Protect your eyes if you go outdoors into sunlight after using tropicamide ophthalmic.

Unless your doctor tells you to, avoid using other eye drops or ointment until the effects of tropicamide ophthalmic have worn off.

What other drugs will affect tropicamide ophthalmic (Mydriacyl, Ocu-Tropic, Tropicacyl)?

There may be other drugs that can affect tropicamide ophthalmic. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use.
