Possible side effects Like other drugs, Cycloplegic-edol can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. There is a high risk of drug absorption, especially in children, through the nasal mucosa and into the lacrimal duct. Therefore, it is necessary to press on the corner of the eye for a few minutes (2-3 minutes) after instilling the eye drops into the conjunctival sac. Photosensitivity - Cyclopentolate hydrochloride increases the eye's sensitivity to light, so it is recommended to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation. Children - In children with spastic paralysis or mental disorders, side effects are more likely to develop. Special caution is required in patients with paralytic ileus, benign prostatic hyperplasia, coronary insufficiency or heart failure, and ataxia. The total recovery time is 24 hours. Pregnancy and lactation - Since absorption is systemic in pregnant and lactating women, Cycloplegic-edol 10mg/ml eye drops, solution should be used when the expected therapeutic benefit outweighs the possible risk. No studies have been conducted in animals to assess the risk of side effects of cyclopentolate on embryonic and fetal development.
