Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride and Phoslyra

• Generic Name: cyclopentolate ophthalmic

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).

• Generic Name: calcium acetate
• Dosage Forms: oral solution
• Other Brand Names: Calphron, Eliphos, PhosLo Gelcap, Phoslyra, PhosLo

Calcium is a mineral that is needed for many functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals such as phosphate, and aid in their removal from the body.

Phoslyra is used to control phosphate levels to keep them from getting too high in people with kidney failure.

Phoslyra may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
