Cyclopentolate

Ophthalmic topical (Non Steroidal)

Description

Cyclopentolate is an anti-muscarinic in the same class as atropine and scopolamine. Cyclopentolate blocks the receptors in the muscles of the eye (muscarinic receptors). These receptors are involved controlling the pupil size and the shape of the lens.

Mechanism of action

Blocks muscarinic receptors and produces dilatation of the pupil (mydriasis) and prevents the eye from accommodating for near vision (cycloplegia).
