Ocu-Tropic Disease Interactions
There is 1 disease interaction with Ocu-Tropic (tropicamide ophthalmic).
Anticholinergics (applies to Ocu-Tropic) glaucoma
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension
Anticholinergic agents are contraindicated in patients with primary glaucoma, a tendency toward glaucoma (narrow anterior chamber angle), or adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens, as well as for the elderly and others in whom undiagnosed glaucoma or excessive pressure in the eye may be present. Because anticholinergics cause mydriasis, they may exacerbate these conditions.
