Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop

Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop is an eye drop medicine that contains phenylephrine and tropicamide in a 3 mL bottle. It belongs to a mydriatic/cycloplegic eye-care class used to enlarge the pupil and temporarily relax the eye’s focusing muscle. Doctors use Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop before eye examinations and certain eye procedures when a wide pupil and reduced accommodation are needed. Because it is a prescription-style diagnostic eye drop, it should be used only as directed by an eye-care professional.

How it works: Phenylephrine narrows certain blood vessels in the eye and helps widen the pupil. Tropicamide blocks a signal that makes the pupil tighten, so the eye drop allows the pupil to stay open and the eye to relax for examination.

This Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop is the same medicine as the other Tropicacyl Plus eye drop listing we sell, but the 3 mL bottle is the exact package size stated here. A doctor may choose this bottle size when a short course or a single exam-day supply is enough, rather than a larger pack. It works quickly in the eye and is meant for supervised use, not routine self-treatment.

• Dilating the pupil for eye examination
• Temporary eye relaxation before procedures
• Helping the doctor view the back of the eye
• Cycloplegic refraction testing

• Use only in the eye as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after using Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If more than one eye medicine is used, separate them by at least 5 minutes unless your doctor says otherwise.
• After instilling the drop, gently press the inner corner of the eye for 1 minute to reduce drainage into the nose.
• Do not drive or do close-up work until your vision and light sensitivity return to normal.

Each bottle of Tropicacyl Plus 3 mL Eye Drop contains 3 mL of solution, and the amount used per dose is usually a few drops as directed by the doctor rather than the full bottle. The doctor decides how often it is given, and for many patients it is used as a single pre-exam or short-term dose rather than repeatedly through the day. The maximum number of doses per day depends on the exam or procedure plan and should not be increased on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
