TROPICO PLUS is a fixed dose combination eye drop that contains Tropicamide and Phenylephrine. Tropicamide is a mydriatic agent that dilates the pupil and relaxes the ciliary muscle, allowing for better visualization of the back of the eye during eye exams. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the eye, relieving redness and swelling. This combination is commonly used in ophthalmic practice for diagnostic procedures, such as fundoscopy or retinal examination. TROPICO PLUS works by temporarily expanding the pupil and reducing eye redness, providing improved visibility for eye examinations. It is generally well-tolerated and provides rapid onset of action.
