Use Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML as follows:

• Remove the cap from the bottle.

• Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Hold the dropper above the eye, squeeze out one drop, and close your eye.

• Apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of your eye to prevent the liquid from draining out.

• Replace the cap on the bottle after use.

• If you have other eye drops or ointments, wait at least five minutes between each medication.

• For specific advice on how often and when to use these drops, consult your doctor.

Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML are applied topically.

There are two active ingredients in Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML that work together:

• Tropicamide (0.8%): This antimuscarinic medicine works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the eye, which leads to pupil dilation and temporary paralysis of accommodation. This action allows a detailed evaluation of the internal eye structures.

• Phenylephrine (5%): This alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist stimulates the iris dilator muscle, resulting in pupil dilation. It also reduces congestion and redness in the eye by constricting blood vessels.

The combined effect of these two components leads to swift and significant pupil dilation, providing a wider view of the internal eye structures during examination.

• Store Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Ensure the lid of the bottle is tightly closed to prevent air exposure.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Remember to use Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• If you're undergoing an eye examination, refrain from driving or operating machinery until your vision returns to normal after using Ocutrop Plus Eye Drops 5 ML. Your vision may blur temporarily due to pupil dilation.

• Adopt a healthy lifestyle by eating foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E. These are antioxidants known to support eye health. Foods such as carrots, citrus fruits, almonds, spinach, and bell peppers can be beneficial for your eyes.
