TROPAC P 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. TROPAC P 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.
