It is generally administered 15-20 minutes prior to an eye examination. Do not self-administer this medicine at home. Check the label thoroughly for directions before using the medicine. The use of this medicine may cause temporary blurring of eyes, stinging sensation, or increased sensitivity to light in some people. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own.

How to Use: Cycdex Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Cyclopentolate and Dexamethasone which relieve eye pain. Cyclopentolate 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 reduce pain in certain eye conditions. Dexamethasone belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. It prevents late phase allergic reactions by preventing release of chemicals responsible for allergy.
