Eseltrop Eye Drop belongs to the class of medications called ‘Ophthalmic agents’ used for examining the eye during the diagnosis or detection of any eye disease, or therapeutic procedures. It can help detect eye inflammation or any other eye diseases such as uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eyewall) or in ophthalmoscopy procedures (retinal examination) or during eye surgeries.

Eseltrop Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Tropicamide and Phenylephrine. Tropicamide is an anticholinergic, while Phenylephrine is a decongestant. They work by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxing the muscles in your eye. This allows proper examination of the inside of your eye.

Eseltrop Eye Drop is for external use only. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Eseltrop Eye Drop are headache, dizziness, blurred vision, photophobia (sensitivity to light), eye pain, eye irritation, burning or stinging sensation in the eye, skin rash, hypotension (low blood pressure) and nausea (feeling sick). Inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Eseltrop Eye Drop if you are allergic to Tropicamide, Phenylephrine or any contents of it. Before taking Eseltrop Eye Drop, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), heart diseases, hypertension (high blood pressure), hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, diabetes and tachycardia (increased heart rate). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting Eseltrop Eye Drop. It should not be used in children below 1 year.

Eseltrop Eye Drop may increase pressure inside the eye, so it should not be used in patients with glaucoma. It is advised to remove contact lenses at least 15 minutes before instilling Eseltrop Eye Drop drops as it may eye irritation. Eseltrop Eye Drop should be used with caution in patients with eye inflammation. Eseltrop Eye Drop is also used with extreme caution in children, especially with Down syndrome and brain damage as there is an increased risk of side-effects associated with the nervous system.
