Description:

Atro Kid Eye Drop is a medicine given to treat eye problems such as myopia where a child can see nearby objects clearly but has problems seeing distant objects.

Atro Kid Eye Drop should preferably be only used in the eye that is experiencing problems. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the disease condition. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor.

Forever wash the hands thoroughly with soap and hot water before and after using Atro Kid Eye Drop. Doing so will help avoid the risk of any infection. For instilling the medicine, ask your child to lie down and look up and to the other side. Make sure your child remains still and calm while you are putting the medicine. Put the medicine drops in the lower eyelid, directed away from the nose. After this, ask your child to keep their eyes closed for some time so that the medicine doesn't spill out and gets absorbed properly.

Abstain your child from rubbing their eyes soon after putting the medicine as it can lead to redness or irritation. Your child should not wear any sort of contact lenses while on treatment with Atro Kid Eye Drop as this medicine can damage the lenses.  Do not abruptly stop the medicine by yourself, even if your child starts to feel better. Continue the medicine until the prescribed course is complete. Consult your child’s doctor in case of any confusion.

This medicine may have some minor and temporary side effects such as blurry vision, photophobia, eye irritation, and stinging in the eyes. These episodes should start receding after a few doses. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to the doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problems, skin disorders, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

FAQs:

What is the best time to use Atro Kid Eye Drop?

Atro Kid Eye Drop can be given at any time of the day as prescribed by the doctor. However, it is best to use it just before your child retires to bed since Atro Kid Eye Drop can cause temporary blurring of vision.

My child is 10 years old and has blurred vision (myopia). Is Atro Kid Eye Drop the right choice?

Atro Kid Eye Drop is usually given to young children to prevent the progression of myopia. In older children, where myopia has already been progressed, Atro Kid Eye Drop is not known to have any beneficial effect. Therefore, in this case, avoid giving Atro Kid Eye Drop to your child and consult your child’s doctor.

What if I give too much of Atro Kid Eye Drop by mistake?

Excessive use of Atro Kid Eye Drop in children can cause anticholinergic effects (dry mouth), cardiovascular changes (fast heart rate, irregular heartbeat), and central nervous system effects (confusion, restlessness, hallucinations, convulsions). Therefore, it is advised not to give more than the recommended dose.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Atro Kid Eye Drop?

Atro Kid Eye Drop may interact with other medicines or eye drops. Check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child along with Atro Kid Eye Drop.

How to store Atro Kid Eye Drop at home?

Atro Kid Eye Drop is for external use only and should be stored out of the sight and reach of children. Retain Atro Kid Eye Drop upright at room temperature in a dry place away from light.
