About this molecule
Tropicamide is an alkaloid atropine‐derived anticholinergic drug and a non‐selective antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptors. Usually available in ophthalmic formulations, tropicamide is used to cause mydriasis and cycloplegia for eye exams or ocular procedures. It is also used in combination with [hydroxyamphetamine] for the same indication. Oral tropicamide has been investigated as a potential drug to relieve sialorrhea in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
