Mydriacyl

Mydriacyl is a medication used to dilate the pupil of the eye for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It contains the active ingredient Tropicamide, which works by blocking the action of a certain neurotransmitter in the eye, causing the muscles that control the size of the pupil to relax and widen. This allows for better visualization of the inside of the eye during eye exams or procedures.
