Atropine Sulphate Eye Drops 1% - Relieves Eye Irritations & Reduces Eye Inflammation
Atropine Sulphate Drops (1%) are effective eye drops designed to treat various eye conditions. This solution contains atropine sulfate, a muscarinic antagonist that dilates the pupil and helps reduce eye irritation caused by inflammation, infection, or other underlying conditions. It is commonly used to treat eye conditions like uveitis, iritis, and other inflammatory conditions affecting the eye, as well as in pre-operative procedures. The active ingredient, atropine sulfate, works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, leading to pupil dilation and reduced muscle spasm within the eye.
Each drop of Atropine Sulphate contains 1% atropine sulfate, a clinically effective dose for managing these conditions. The formulation is suitable for adults and children under medical supervision. As with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and seek medical guidance before use. This product is a trusted solution for managing short-term eye discomfort and improving visual clarity during medical procedures.
How to Use Atropine Sulphate Eye Drops
- Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
- Tilt your head back slightly and pull down the lower eyelid.
- Hold the dropper near the eye without touching it, and administer the recommended dose (typically 1-2 drops).
- Close your eyes gently and apply slight pressure to the corner of your eye near the nose for 1 minute to prevent the drops from draining away.

Repeat as directed by your healthcare provider.
