cyclopentolate and Aura

cyclopentolate has been researched along with Aura in 2 studies

Cyclopentolate: A parasympatholytic anticholinergic used solely to obtain mydriasis or cycloplegia.
cyclopentolate : A carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation of (1-hydroxycyclopentyl)(phenyl)acetic acid with N,N-dimethylethanolamine. A tertiary amine antimuscarinic with actions similar to atropine, it is used as its hydrochloride salt to produce mydriasis (excessive dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye) for opthalmic diagnostic procedures. It acts more quickly than atropine and has a shorter duration of action.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A small amount of cyclopentolate drops could induce convulsions in young children after only minutes to less than an hour, while a larger dosage of atropine over the span of several hours could cause this rare and unpredictable complication."1.40Epileptic seizures induced by cycloplegic eye drops. ( Goldchmit, M; Mezer, E; Nucci, P; Wygnanski-Jaffe, T, 2014)
