Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride and Natural Vitamin E

• Generic Name: cyclopentolate ophthalmic
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Cyclogyl, Cylate, AK-Pentolate, Pentolair, Ocu-Pentolate

Produces mydriasis and cycloplegia for refraction (e.g., retina and optic disc examination, measurement of refractive error).

Cyclopentolate may be preferred over atropine because of shorter duration of mydriasis and cycloplegia when used for opthalmologic examination.

Fixed-combination preparation containing cyclopentolate hydrochloride 0.2% and phenylephrine hydrochloride 1% is used to produce pronounced mydriasis with little accompanying cycloplegia for ophthalmologic examination (e.g., patients with retinal detachment; dilation for screening for retinopathy of prematurity).
