Minims Tropicamide Information

Minims Tropicamide at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Bausch Health manufactures brand-name Minims Tropicamide. It is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada.

There is no generic equivalent of Minims Tropicamide.

Dosage:

Minims Tropicamide is available in the following strength and form:
• 1% Ophthalmic Solution, in single-use 0.5 mL dropperettes.

The usual dose is 1 drop instilled into the eye, waiting about 20 to 30 minutes for maximum dilation before the exam. If more than one drop is prescribed, wait about 5 minutes between drops. Since each Minims unit is for single use only, discard it after one application.

Usage:

Minims Tropicamide dilates the pupil for eye examinations and other eye diagnostic procedures. It works by relaxing the eye muscles responsible for pupil constriction and focusing. It is considered the drug of choice for routine dilation because of its fast onset and comparatively short duration of action. Minims are single-use, preservative-free ophthalmic "dropperettes" that provide a fresh, sterile dose for each patient or eye, which is especially useful in clinical settings.

Mechanism of Action
Tropicamide, the active ingredient in Minims Tropicamide, is an anticholinergic medication that blocks the muscarinic receptors in the iris and ciliary muscle of the eye. This relaxes the muscle that constricts the pupil, allowing it to widen, and, to a lesser extent, relaxes the ciliary muscle involved in near focusing. The mydriatic (pupil dilation) effect lasts 4 to 8 hours. The cycloplegic (loss of near focus/accommodation) effect is significantly shorter, usually peaking around 20 to 30 minutes and wearing off within 2 to 4 hours.

Use Minims Tropicamide exactly as your doctor prescribes. Remove contact lenses before instilling drops. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting lenses, or until your vision has completely cleared. Do not allow the tip of the dropperette to touch any surface, including your eyes or hands. Tilt your head back, look up and away, and squeeze a drop into the pocket formed by gently pulling down the lower eyelid, without touching the eye itself. Close your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes afterward, then gently press a finger to the inner corner of the eye for at least 2 minutes to help prevent the medication from draining into the tear duct.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Minims Tropicamide, especially any glaucoma medications. Unless your eye doctor has specifically told you to, avoid using any other eye medication until the effects of Minims Tropicamide have worn off completely.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

These eye drops likely won't cause serious harm to an unborn or nursing infant, but there haven't been enough studies to confirm this. It's best to avoid using Minims Tropicamide unless you've discussed the risks with your doctor first if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Use in Children:

Do not use Minims Tropicamide in infants under 3 months of age. For older children, it is typically used at an eye doctor's office; because young children may rub their eyes after receiving the drops, wash their hands regularly afterward, and bring sunglasses to help with light sensitivity on the way home.
