Mydrilate Eye Drops 0.5% – Cyclopentolate, 5ml

Looking for an effective way to dilate your pupils during an eye examination or refraction test? Mydrilate Eye Drops may be just what you need! These powerful prescription eye drops contain the active ingredient cyclopentolate hydrochloride, which belongs to a group of medicines known as mydriatics and cycloplegics. Mydriatics are used for pupil dilation while cycloplegics block the muscles of the eye that control the shape of the lens. This makes Mydrilate Eye Drops ideal for diagnostics purposes. But that’s not all – they can also be used to treat some types of eye inflammation, such as iritis and uveitis. So if you’re looking for an effective way to dilate your pupils or treat inflammation, be sure to ask your doctor about Mydrilate Eye Drops.

How To Use

HOW TO USE CYCLOPENTOLATE HYDROCHLORIDE EYE DROPS

Always use Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride eye drops exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. When using this product for the first time, screw down the cap firmly on the bottle to pierce the seal at the tip of the plastic nozzle and then unscrew the cap for use.
