About Cepenta Eye Drop

An anticholinergic, Cepenta Eye Drop is typically used just before an eye examination, especially before refraction eye exams. The drug temporarily widens, dilates the pupil and at the same time relaxes eye muscles. This medication is used to dilate or enlarge the pupil of the eye so that the doctor can examine the back of the eyeball. It may also be used to decrease pain in specific eye conditions.

The application of the drug is done about an hour before the examination is due. Once the first dose is given, the next is administered in about another 5 to 10 minutes. Cepenta Eye Drop is only meant for application in the eye. It should not be taken by mouth or injected into the body.

When it comes to application, wash your hands thoroughly before using the drops. Once you have put in the drops, do not wash the dropper, just place the cap back on and close it. Make sure to wash your hands after every use.

All medicines lead to a few side effects. While some are common and disappear in a while, others are less common and can be very dangerous. Some minor side effects that may occur while using Cepenta Eye Drop are blurry vision, eye irritation and redness. Major side effects are very rare in this case, but if you experience pain in the eyes, changes in vision or irregular beating of the heart, get in touch with your medical provider and seek immediate treatment.
