Atropine Basics
Atropine Sulfate is available by prescription only.
Atropine Ophthalmic Solution is an anticholinergic agent.
Anticholinergic agents act on the parasympathetic nervous system causing the muscles in your pet's eyes to become relaxed.
Atropine Ophthalmic Solution is used to dilate the pupil when there is an inflammatory condition or in post-surgery situations.
Atropine is used to treat...
Corneal ulcers
Uveitis (inflammation inside the eye)

Atropine works by paralyzing the sphincter muscle of the iris of the eye, which results in the dilation of the pupil.
