If an underlying cause is not found, anticholinergic medication can help, such as atropine, scopolamine, or even benadryl. The blood in your sputum is concerning, this needs to be checked by your doctor since that does not commonly accompany sialorrhea.
I defenitly notice that light is more bright after my second dose of Ritalin. In the morning when my eyes are dropped with Atropine and I have taken my first dose, I only notice bright light cause of the Atropine. But when I've taken my second dose of Ritalin I notice the light is much more brighter after 20-30 minutes, which will last till late night.
Although I still have some questions, cause will Cyclogyl dilate the pupil larger then Atropine?
Yes it helps thank you. In this case I treated with Liodcaine and Atropine, with the pacer standing by. The Lidocaine significantly reduced the frequency of the PVCs and the atropine increased the pt's HR to the mid 70s and brought his systolic BP up over 100. I know this was "old school" hence my question. In the future I will be a bit faster on atropine, sedation and pacing as necessary.
What is the best way to wean off the scopolamine patch in an elderly person? Can we use the cream instead and slowly increase the time between use?
Regarding doctors in the US who are familiar with the use of atropine for myopia control in children:
Following is a link to an audio podcast (interview) from Nov 2013 with Dr. Jeffrey Cooper, who has studied various dosages of atropine in children for myopia control:

Dr.
s more than a month now my vision is still blurred and pupil is still extremely dilated. My vision was blurry even before I used atropine and Maxidrol eye ointment. Ofloxacin was the eye drop I was using before atropine. Doctor told me that I should have my vision back in two weeks and asked me to stop using atropine and prescribed hypromellose. My vision has improved but distant still looks blurry. What's my problem?
I recently went on a a 7 day cruise and wore the scopolamine patch from the first day and changed at 3 days. A total of 2 patches. I removed the patch the day I got home within 24 hours of removal I became very ill vomiting and nauseated. This continured throughout the next day. I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better.
Was sent to hospital for further checks and found hyphema which was treated with atropine,1 x drop a day and sufradex 6 x a day.After 10 days now hyphema has settled and he has been off the atropine for the last 2 days but his pupils are still dilated.Doctor said they may always stay a little larger due to tiny muscle tears but if his pupils were fine right after trauma i am left wondering is the doctor right?Is this still the effects of atropine or will the pupils always be dilated?
Yes I see a MD ophthalmologist. And he talked about putting me in bifocals if he does dilate my good eye.
m having Atropine and Cyclogyl to treat my accommodationspasm, and was just doing some research about the effects of these drops. And noticed that Atropine is not dilating my pupils to the max..
Although my pupils are dilated to a huge size, and are barely responding to light, but I was just wondering why my eyes weren't fully dilated and not responding to light.
Do you may know how strong the pupils dilation of Atropine will be when used everyday.
No atropine does not cause tears or permanent dilated pupil. Atropine is often used with trauma to the eye to reduce inflammation, prevent bleeding, reduce pain and rest the focus muscle. It's the trauma that does it not atropine.
At 5 weeks even in light colored blue or green iris the atropine should be metabolized and gone.
Had vitrectomy last week for damage from vitreomacular traction. Used atropine drops for three days after. Now I am three days off atropine and my pupil is dialted to at least 1/2 of the iris. Scary. I know I am early in this process, but am so hoping that the pupil goes back to normal. I know that my vision will not be 100% because of the macular hole, but I didn't anticipate the pupil problem too.
As you mentioned that atropine has much higher possibility to slow progression with low concentrattion and even studies prove that . Are there long term or short term side effect we should be concern about before starting that, I would like your opinion on that as not many opthomologist recommended atropine as just told me to let him be kid? as it will change his life style.
I know that the pupil dilation is caused most likely by thermal damage to the nerves that control the pupil, and that there is a slight chance it could be lingering effects from the atropine ( I have light blue eyes). If it is nerve damage, my nerves should try and repair, and in most cases ( as far as I know) the problem resolves between 1-6 months.
retina degeneration, high myopia, glaucoma, cataract, laser treatment, and etc. And Special thanks to Doctor Hagan, an honorable and helpful gentleman, who has given us a lot of valuable information and advices.
I have learned some eye health knowledge in the past two months because of an improper laser treatment and failed ICL surgery.
He had stitches put on. After this surgery his pupil was normal size. He was put on atropine 4 times a day for 12 days and other drops. Four days later ( after the stiches surgery) he had cataract surgery but didn't t receive an iol. It has been a month now since he stopped atropine but the pupil is still large. He has light skin and green iris.
My son has high myopia -8.75 at age 10 and has been under pediatric opthomologist care for yr. I just switched to contact lenses for him for better vision. I just want to know if wear soft contact lenses vs glasses can have negative impact on his progression of myopia. My opthomologsit seems fine with my decision going for contact lenses but am still bit worried.
Any suggestions welcome.Thanks.
I too have never seen something like this with atropine but a few times have seen similar lesions due to other injections. I expect that atropine was in fact used and this is either a lesion due to an infection that occurred under the skin from the injection, or knowing how atropine works it is an unusual reaction. On top of drying the mouth, atropine also strengthens the heart, which is the main reason it is used during anesthetics.
