Bell Mfc 1 % Eye Drop 5 ML contain atropine (1%), which works on the eyes in the following ways:

• Muscarinic receptor blockade: Atropine blocks specific receptors called muscarinic receptors in the eye muscles, causing the muscles responsible for pupil constriction to relax, resulting in pupil dilation.

• Ciliary muscle paralysis: This medicine temporarily paralyses the ciliary muscles, which affects the eye's ability to focus on close objects, a process known as accommodation.

• Dopamine modulation: By influencing dopamine levels in the eye, atropine helps alter eye growth patterns, which is particularly useful in slowing down the progression of myopia (near-sightedness).

• Inflammation reduction: Atropine helps reduce swelling and redness in the eye by interfering with certain inflammatory pathways.

• Store Bell Mfc 1 % Eye Drop 5 ML at temperatures below 25°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental use.

• Do not use the eye drops after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• When managing myopia (near-sightedness), spend at least 2 hours daily outdoors in natural light, as studies show outdoor activity can help slow myopia progression.

• Reduce eye strain by following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to give your focusing muscles a break.
