**Atropine Eye Drops 10ml** contains **Atropine**, which belongs to the group of medicines called Mydriatics and Cycloplegics. This medicine helps to delay the progression of myopia (near-sightedness) in young children, typically aged between 4-14 years. Myopia is a vision problem where close objects are seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. This occurs when the eyes do not perceive light rays properly, leading to difficulty viewing faraway objects, eye strain, headaches, or squinting.

**Atropine**, the active component in **Atropine Eye Drops 10ml**, is an anticholinergic medicine. It works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine in the eyes. As a result, it relaxes the eye muscles (ciliary muscle), reduces tension in the eye, and allows the eyes to focus better. During therapy with **Atropine Eye Drops 10ml**, your doctor will regularly monitor your child's eye health to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects. Before using **Atropine Eye Drops 10ml**, it is important to inform your doctor if your child has any other eye problems apart from myopia. **Atropine Eye Drops 10ml** is not suitable for use in children aged below 4 years.
