Mydfrin (Phenylephrine hydrochloride) Information

Mydfrin, which contains the active ingredient phenylephrine hydrochloride, is a prescription ophthalmic solution in the alpha-adrenergic agonist drug class. It is primarily used as a sympathomimetic agent to dilate the pupils. Doctors commonly use it before eye examinations, during diagnostic procedures, or before eye surgery to provide a clearer view of the inside of the eye. It is important to note that the brand name Mydfrin has been discontinued in the United States. However, generic equivalents and other brand names (like Altafrin or Neofrin) remain available.

The mechanism of action involves stimulating specific receptors in the eye muscles, causing the iris dilator muscle to contract. This results in a widened pupil and temporarily constricted blood vessels on the surface of the eye, which can also reduce redness caused by irritation from wind or sun.
