Introduction
Atrosulph Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication used to treat myopia and inflammation in the eyes, such as uveitis or iritis. It is also used to induce cycloplegia for eye examinations and diagnose eye problems like blurred vision or squint in children. The medication works by dilating the pupils and temporarily paralyzing the focusing muscle inside the eye, allowing for proper examination and reducing inflammation. Common side effects are not listed, but it is important to consult a doctor for any adverse reactions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
