Topin Eye Drops 10ml

Topin Eye Drops are used for the following:

• Inducing pupil dilation (mydriasis) for eye examinations.

• Relaxing eye muscles (cycloplegia) to determine refractive errors, especially in children.

• Managing inflammatory conditions of the eye such as uveitis and iritis.

• Managing amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye.

Using Topin Eye Drops is simple. Here's how you can do it:

• Tilt your head back, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pouch.

• Carefully instil the prescribed number of drops into this pouch.

• Close your eyes gently for about 1-2 minutes after instilling the drops.

• Apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of your closed eye. This helps in minimising systemic absorption of the medicine.

• If you are using another eye medication, wait for at least 5 minutes before putting the other eye drops.

Remember to always consult your doctor for specific directions and advice.

Topin Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Topin Eye Drops contain two key active ingredients:

• Atropine (1%): A competitive antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, atropine blocks the action of acetylcholine on certain muscles in your eye. These muscles control the size of your pupil and the shape of your lens. By blocking acetylcholine, atropine causes dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) and relaxation of eye muscles (cycloplegia). It also helps alleviate spasms in ciliary muscles, leading to a reduction in pain associated with some inflammatory conditions.

• Chlorbutol (0.5%): This ingredient acts as a preservative, preventing microbial growth and contamination within the solution.

These two components work together to make Topin Eye Drops an effective solution for diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmic use.

• Store Topin Eye Drops at room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep them away from direct sunlight to maintain efficacy.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• If you are diagnosed with uveitis or iritis, consider wearing sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays. This can help manage photophobia, a common symptom of these eye conditions, which Topin Eye Drops is used to alleviate.

• Maintaining a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish and flaxseeds, promotes overall eye health. It may support your recovery when managing inflammatory conditions of the eye like uveitis or iritis for which Topin Eye Drops are prescribed.
