Cyclogyl (Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride)

Cyclogyl (Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride) is an ophthalmic solution used to dilate the pupil (mydriasis) and temporarily paralyze the eye’s focusing muscles (cycloplegia). It is commonly prescribed before eye examinations and certain diagnostic procedures to allow healthcare providers to thoroughly assess the condition of the eye.

Why Choose Cyclogyl (Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride)?

  • Efficient Eye Dilation: Quickly dilates the pupil, allowing for a detailed eye examination.
  • Cycloplegic Action: Temporarily paralyzes the eye’s focusing mechanism, aiding in accurate measurement of refractive errors.

  • Convenient Application: Easy-to-use dropper for precise dosing.

How to Use Cyclogyl (Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride)?

  • Wash Your Hands: Before applying the drops, clean your hands to avoid introducing bacteria into the eye.
  • Tilt Your Head Back: Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  • Apply the Drops: Hold the dropper close to the eye, but do not touch the eye or lashes. Instill the prescribed number of drops.
  • Close Your Eyes: After applying, gently close your eyes and press lightly on the inner corner for 1-2 minutes to prevent drainage into the tear duct.
  • Avoid Contaminating the Dropper: Ensure the tip of the dropper remains clean and doesn’t come into contact with any surface.
  • Wait Before Using Other Eye Drops: If using other medications, wait at least 5 minutes between applications.
