Kidopia Eye Drop 0.01% contains Atropine Sulfate, an anticholinergic agent used in ophthalmology for controlling the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. This low-dose atropine formulation is specially designed to slow down the elongation of the eyeball, which is a key factor in worsening myopia. It is widely prescribed due to its effectiveness and minimal side effects compared to higher concentrations of atropine.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Atropine Sulfate (Ophthalmic)
• Strength: 0.01%

Mechanism of Action

Atropine works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the eye. Although its exact mechanism in myopia control is not fully understood, it is believed to inhibit excessive eye growth and reduce the progression of refractive error. At low concentrations like 0.01%, it provides therapeutic benefits with minimal impact on pupil size and near vision.
