How It Works

Phenylephrine is an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist causing mydriasis; Tropicamide is an anticholinergic agent causing mydriasis and cycloplegia

Mechanism Steps

1Phenylephrine binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors on the dilator pupillae muscle, causing contraction and mydriasis
2Tropicamide blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscle, causing mydriasis and cycloplegia
3Combined effect results in rapid and sustained pupil dilation and paralysis of accommodation
