NCIt definition : A synthetic muscarinic antagonist with actions similar to atropine and with an anticholinergic
property. Upon ocular administration, tropicamide binds to and blocks the muscarinic
receptors in the sphincter and ciliary muscle in the eye. This inhibits the responses
from cholinergic stimulation, producing dilation of the pupil and paralysis of the
ciliary muscle. Tropicamide is a diagnostic agent and is used to produce short-duration
mydriasis and cycloplegia.;
