Introduction
Atrop -PD Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution used primarily to treat myopia in children.

This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics, which work by relaxing the eye muscles responsible for focusing on distant objects. While it is effective in treating myopia, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and usage instructions to avoid potential side effects and ensure the best results. Always consult your child's doctor for any concerns or questions regarding the use of this medication.
