Clinical
Cyclopentolate ophthalmic is used to cause mydriasis (pupil dilation) and cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye) before an eye examination. Cyclopentolate is in a class of medications called mydriatics. Cyclopentolate works by blocking certain receptors found in the eye to temporarily relax or provide short-term paralysis of the eye muscles.

Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Cyclopentolate hydrochloride is used to produce mydriasis and cycloplegia.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Adults: Instill one or two drops of 0.5%, 1% or 2% solution in the eye which may be repeated in five to ten minutes if necessary. Complete recovery usually occurs in 24 hours. Complete recovery from mydriasis in some individuals may require several days.
Children: Instill one or two drops of 0.5%, 1% or 2% solution in the eye which may be repeated five to ten minutes later by a second application of 0.5% or 1% solution if necessary. Small Infants: A single instillation of one drop of 0.5% Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution in the eye. To minimize absorption, apply pressure over the nasolacrimal sac for two to three minutes.
Observe infant closely for at least 30 minutes following instillation. Individuals with heavily pigmented irides may require higher strengths.
⛔ Contraindications ▾
CONTRAINDICATIONS Should not be used if the patient is hypersensitive to any component of this preparation.
⚠️ Warnings ▾
WARNINGS For topical ophthalmic use. Not for injection. This preparation may cause Central Nervous System (CNS) disturbances.
This is especially true in younger age groups, but may occur at any age, especially with the stronger solutions. Infants are especially prone to CNS and cardiopulmonary side effects from cyclopentolate. To minimize absorption, use only 1 drop of 0.5% cyclopentolate hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, USP per eye, followed by pressure applied over the nasolacrimal sac for two to three minutes.
Observe infants closely for at least 30 minutes following instillation. Mydriatics may produce a transient elevation of intraocular pressure. Patients with untreated narrow angle glaucoma or anatomically narrow angles may be susceptible to angle closure following administration.
Mydriatics may produce a transient elevation of intraocular pressure.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
ADVERSE REACTIONS Ocular: Increased intraocular pressure, burning, photophobia, blurred vision, irritation, hyperemia, conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, punctate keratitis, synechiae have been reported. Non-ocular: Use of cyclopentolate has been associated with psychotic reactions and behavioral disturbances, usually in children, especially with 2% concentration. These disturbances include ataxia, incoherent speech, restlessness, hallucinations, hyperactivity, seizures, disorientation as to time and place, and failure to recognize people.
This drug produces reactions similar to those of other anticholinergic drugs, but the central nervous system manifestations as noted above are more common. Other toxic manifestations of anticholinergic drugs are skin rash, abdominal distention in infants, unusual drowsiness, tachycardia, hyperpyrexia, vasodilation, urinary retention, diminished gastrointestinal motility and decreased secretion in salivary and sweat glands, pharynx, bronchi and nasal passages. Severe manifestations of toxicity include coma, medullary paralysis and death.
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
Drug Interactions Cyclopentolate may interfere with the ocular anti-hypertensive action of carbachol, pilocarpine, or ophthalmic cholinesterase inhibitors.
🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy Pregnancy: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with cyclopentolate. It is also not known whether cyclopentolate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Cyclopentolate should be administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
Pediatric Use Use of cyclopentolate has been associated with psychotic reactions and behavioral disturbances in pediatric patients. Increased susceptibility to cyclopentolate has been reported in infants, young children, and in children with spastic paralysis or brain damage. These disturbances include ataxia, incoherent speech, restlessness, hallucinations, hyperactivity, seizures, disorientation as to time and place, and failure to recognize people.
Feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants may follow ophthalmic use of this product. Cases of NEC have been reported in preterm infants following administration; however, causality has not been established. It is recommended that feeding be withheld for four (4) hours after examination in infants.
Observe infants closely for at least 30 minutes (See WARNINGS ).
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
Geriatric Use No overall differences in safety or effectiveness between elderly and younger patients.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
OVERDOSAGE Excessive dosage may produce behavioral disturbances, tachycardia, hyperpyrexia, hypertension, elevated intraocular pressure, vasodilation, urinary retention, diminished gastrointestinal motility and decreased secretion in salivary and sweat glands, pharynx, bronchi and nasal passages. Patients exhibiting signs of overdosage should receive supportive care and monitoring.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY This anticholinergic preparation blocks the responses of the sphincter muscle of the iris and the accommodative muscle of the ciliary body to cholinergic stimulation, producing pupillary dilation (mydriasis) and paralysis of accommodation (cycloplegia). It acts rapidly, but has a shorter duration than atropine. Maximal cycloplegia occurs within 25 to 75 minutes after instillation.
Complete recovery of accommodation usually takes 6 to 24 hours. Complete recovery from mydriasis in some individuals may require several days. Heavily pigmented irides may require more doses than lightly pigmented irides.
