Uses of Benzalkonium Chloride + Phenylephrine + Tropicamide

How Benzalkonium Chloride + Phenylephrine + Tropicamide works

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Phenylephrine + Tropicamide is an ophthalmic solution combination.

  • Benzalkonium chloride is a powerful preservative that eliminates bacteria to prevent contamination of the eye drops.

  • Phenylephrine is a decongestant, acting on the alpha-adrenergic receptors located in the blood vessels of the eyes. It causes these vessels to constrict, reducing eye redness and swelling.

  • Tropicamide is an anticholinergic agent that blocks muscarinic receptors, leading to relaxation of the iris sphincter muscle and the ciliary body. This results in dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) and temporary paralysis of the eye's focusing muscles (cycloplegia).
