Drosyn 5% Eye Drop

SALT COMPOSITION

Product introduction

Drosyn 5% Eye Drop is a medicine used to enlarge the pupil of your eye before surgery or examination. It helps to constrict blood vessels in the eye and increases pupil size. Your doctor or eye specialist may use it to examine your eye more closely or as part of a treatment program.

Drosyn 5% Eye Drop is usually taken when needed. Use the number of drops as advised by your doctor. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering any other medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Do not use a bottle if the seal is broken before you open it.
