Cyclogyl, cyclopentolateChemical Namescyclopentolate Ingredients Cyclopentolate hydrochloride 10 mg per mL preserved with benzalkonium chloride 0,01%. Indications Cyclogyl is used to dilate the eye in preparation for surgery or examination. It has also been know to be effective for Posterior synechiae and Uveitis. How It Works Cyclopentolate is an anticholinergic agent that relaxes the muscle controlling the iris and the ciliary muscles. Cyclopentolate is used to dilate (enlarge) the pupil. It is used before eye examinations such as cycloplegic refraction or ophthalmoscopy. When applied as drops, it causes a rapid paralysis of the eye (opening up the iris), usually for the purpose of examination or surgery. The drops reach full effect in 15 to 60 minutes. Eye returns to normal usually within 24 hours. Dosage Cyclogyl comes in easy-eye drop bottles of 5ml. Directions: to relax the eye causing mydriasis and cycloplegia (usually for diagnostic purposes), in adults administer 1 drop per eye, followed by a second drop 5 minutes later. Drops will take approximately 30-40 minutes to take full effect. Precautions Cyclogyl is not an anethsthetic.
