What is this medicine?

CYCLOPENTOLATE is used in the eye to widen your pupils, so they won’t respond to light. It is normally used for diagnostic procedures.

How should I use this medicine?

This medicine is only for use in the eye(s). Do not take by mouth. Wash hands before and after use. Tilt the head back slightly and pull the lower eyelid down with the index finger to form a pouch. Squeeze a single drop into the pouch and close your eyes. Apply gentle pressure to the inside corner of your eye for 1 to 3 minutes. If you are using more than one drop, repeat this process with 5 minutes between the drops. Do not touch dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. If more than one eye product is being used, the products should be administered at least 5 minutes apart. Use your medicine at regular intervals. Do not use it more often than directed.
