The stronger preparation (1%) also paralyzes accommodation. This preparation acts in 15-30 minutes and the duration of activity is approximately 3-8 hours. Complete recovery from mydriasis in some individuals may require 24 hours. The weaker strength may be useful in producing mydriasis with only slight cycloplegia. Heavily pigmented irides may require more doses than lightly pigmented irides."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS: Contraindicated in persons showing hypersensitivity to any component of this preparation."],"description":["DESCRIPTION: Tropicamide Ophthalmic Solution, USP is an anticholinergic prepared as a sterile topical ophthalmic solution in two strengths. The active ingredient is represented by the structural formula: C 17 H 20 N 2 O 2 MW=284.36 Established name: Tropicamide Chemical name: Benzeneacetamide, N- ethyl-α-(hydroxymethyl)- N- (4-pyridinylmethyl)-. Each mL contains: Active: Tropicamide 0.5% (5 mg) or 1% (10 mg). Inactives: Edetate Disodium, Sodium Chloride, Hydrochloric Acid and/or Sodium Hydroxide (to adjust pH), Water for Injection. pH range 4.0 to 5.8. Preservative: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.01%. Structural Formula"],"dosage_and_administration":["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 to 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."],"drug_interactions":["Drug Interactions: Tropicamide may interfere with the antihypertensive action of carbachol, pilocarpine, or ophthalmic cholinesterase inhibitors."],"effective_time":"20200504","general_precautions":["General: The lacrimal sac should be compressed by digital pressure for two to three minutes after instillation to avoid excessive systemic absorption."],"how_supplied":["HOW SUPPLIED: Tropicamide Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5% and 1% are supplied as sterile solutions in plastic dropper bottles. 0.5% NDC 17478-101-12 (15 mL) 1% NDC 17478-102-12 (15 mL) 1% NDC 17478-102-20 (2 mL) STORAGE: Store at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
