BIOLOGICAL INFO
Application(s):Anticholinergic and a muscarinic receptor subtype M4-preferring antagonist

REVIEW
 Tropicamide binds to and blocks the receptors in the muscles of the eye (muscarinic receptor M4). Tropicamide acts by blocking the responses of the iris sphincter muscle to the iris and ciliary muscles to cholinergic stimulation, producing dilation of the pupil and paralysis of the ciliary muscle.
