Acetylcholine chloride intraocular solution
To achieve rapid constriction of the iris within seconds after removing the lens during cataract surgery, penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy, or other anterior segment procedures where quick pupillary constriction is necessary.
Acetylcholine Chloride Intraocular Solution is used in various ophthalmic procedures. Let me provide you with some information about it:
Indication:
It is a parasympathomimetic preparation used to obtain contraction of the iris of the eye in seconds after delivery of the lens during cataract surgery, penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy, and other anterior segment surgeries where rapid contraction may be required1.
Composition:
The solution contains acetylcholine chloride, which is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter.
Safety Considerations:
Patients with an allergy to Miochol-E (or any ingredient contained in the product) should not use it.
Infrequently, use of intraocular acetylcholine has caused the cornea (the transparent layer protecting the front of the eye) to become cloudy or swollen, which may affect vision.
Rarely, adverse reactions indicative of systemic absorption have been reported, including bradycardia, hypotension, flushing, breathing difficulties, and sweating.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established21.
