Atropine causes the muscles in your eye to become relaxed. This widens (dilates) your pupil so that it will not respond to light.

Atropine ophthalmic (for the eye) is used to dilate your pupils when you have an inflammatory condition or in postsurgery situations in which this effect may be helpful.

Atropine ophthalmic is also used in people with a condition called amblyopia (sometimes called "lazy eye"). Atropine ophthalmic can be placed into the stronger eye to temporarily blur the vision in that eye. This helps strengthen the weaker eye because the brain will force that eye to work harder to focus.

Atropine ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Larotrectinib is used to treat certain tumors that are caused by an abnormal "NTRK" gene. Larotrectinib is used when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed with surgery or other cancer treatments.

Larotrectinib is sometimes given after other cancer treatments did not work or have stopped working.

Larotrectinib was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an "accelerated" basis. In clinical studies, some people responded to larotrectinib, but further studies are needed.

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