Cyclopen 1% Eye Drops (containing Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride) are a high-performance anticholinergic medication indicated for inducing mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary muscle). By specifically blocking the action of acetylcholine in the eye, Cyclopen effectively prevents the eye from focusing and keeps the pupil dilated. It is an essential therapy for accurate refractive error measurements (eye exams), the treatment of inflammatory conditions like iritis or uveitis, and for pre-operative and post-operative ophthalmic management.
Using Cyclopen as part of a medically supervised ophthalmic care plan offers several targeted therapeutic benefits:
Effective Dilation for Examinations: Specifically designed to provide a wide, stable pupil dilation, allowing ophthalmologists to conduct thorough retinal and internal eye exams.
Rapid Onset of Cycloplegia: Quickly paralyzes the focusing muscles, which is critical for determining the most accurate prescription for glasses, especially in children and young adults.
Relieves Pain in Inflammatory Conditions: Effectively reduces the painful spasms of the ciliary muscle associated with anterior uveitis and iritis.
Prevents Posterior Synechiae: Helps prevent the iris from sticking to the lens during episodes of severe ocular inflammation.
Shorter Duration than Atropine: Provides powerful cycloplegic effects that wear off more quickly than traditional Atropine drops, typically within 24 hours.
Cyclopen 1% Eye Drops (Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride) are manufactured by Standard Generics Limited, a reputable pharmaceutical company committed to providing high-quality essential medicines and sterile ophthalmic treatments in Nigeria. Produced in NAFDAC-registered, GMP-compliant facilities that adhere to rigorous safety and international sterile manufacturing standards, Standard Generics ensures that every bottle of Cyclopen meets strict criteria for purity, pH balance, and clinical potency. At Sanlive Pharmacy, we source Cyclopen directly from verified distributors to ensure our patients receive authentic, high-standard medication for their vision health.
Cyclopen utilizes a targeted cholinergic blockade mechanism for ocular stabilization:
Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride (1%): A potent muscarinic antagonist that blocks the receptors in the sphincter muscle of the iris and the accommodative muscle of the ciliary body.
Sterile Isotonic Vehicle: Formulated to match the eye's natural salinity, ensuring rapid absorption and minimal irritation upon application.
To achieve optimal results with Cyclopen 1% Eye Drops, follow these guidelines:
Suggested Dosage for Exams: Typically, one (1) drop is instilled in each eye, followed by a second drop 5 to 10 minutes later if necessary.
Suggested Dosage for Uveitis: One (1) drop 3 to 4 times daily, or as specifically directed by your ophthalmologist.
Administration: Tilt your head back, apply the drop, and immediately press the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) for 2 to 3 minutes to prevent the medicine from entering the tear duct and being absorbed into the rest of the body.
Duration of Effect: Pupil dilation and blurred vision typically last between 6 to 24 hours.
Important Safety Note: For topical ophthalmic use only. Warning: This medication causes significant blurred vision and increased sensitivity to light; do not drive or operate machinery until the effects have completely worn off. Use with extreme caution in children and the elderly, as systemic absorption can cause confusion or rapid heartbeat. Do not use if you have narrow-angle glaucoma. If you experience severe eye pain or a sudden headache, seek medical attention immediately.
