Medicinal Benefits:

Atro Drops 5ml belongs to a group of medicines called mydriatics and cycloplegics used to treat uveitis or iritis (inflammation in the eye) and myopia (near-sightedness). Besides this, Atro Drops 5ml is also used before certain eye examinations to widen the pupil, to diagnose eye problems such as blurred vision in children below 6years and in children with convergent strabismus (cross-eyes or squint). Atro Drops 5ml relaxes the muscles in the eye, thereby makes the pupil of the eye appear larger. This makes it easier for an eye examination. Atro Drops 5ml reduces pain and allows the inflamed part of the eye to rest and recover by relaxing the eye muscles. It is also indicated for cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary eye muscle), mydriasis (dilation of the pupil), and for the penalisation of the healthy eye in the treatment of amblyopia (decreased eyesight due to abnormal vision development).
