Paremyd

Paremyd is a prescription medication used to dilate the pupils of the eye for a short period of time during various medical diagnostic and/or surgical procedures.

Paremyd is a single product containing 2 medications, hydroxyamphetamine, and tropicamide. Hydroxyamphetamine belongs to a group of drugs called sympathomimetics, which work by releasing chemicals in the eye that cause the pupil to dilate. Tropicamide belongs to a group of drugs called anticholinergics, which work by blocking the action of a muscle of the eye. This causes the pupils to grow larger in size.

This medication comes in eyedrop form and is typically administered within 60 minutes of a procedure by a healthcare professional.

Common side effects of Paremyd include temporary eye stinging, eye and/or mouth dryness, and sensitivity to light.

Paremyd can also cause blurred vision. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Paremyd affects you.
