Minims® Cydopentolate Hydrochloride contains a mydriatic agent. It is used to enlarge the pupil of the eye and to paralyse the lens temporarily. Your doctor or eye specialist may use it to examine your eye more closely.
These eye drops are also used to treat some types of inflammation of the eye.
This medicine is not indicated for babies under 28 days old.
However, your doctor or eye specialist can use it if he/she decides that it is necessary.

• if you have high pressure of liquid inside the eye (closed angle glaucoma)
• in babies under 28 days old (unless your doctor decides that it is necessary).
Take special care
Ask yourself the following questions:
Are your eyes red or inflamed?
• Is it to be used in very young children (under 3 months old)?
• Are you very ill?
• Are you elderly?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, tell your doctor or eye specialist.

2. Use a mirror, this will help you to see what you are doing.
3. Carefully dry your eyes using a tissue, and twist off the cap from the Minims body of the unit.
4. Pull your lower eyelid down gently, and then carefully place 1 or 2 drops inside your lower eyelid.
5. Close your eye and blink a few times to make sure your eye is covered by the liquid.
6. Close the eyelids. It is advisable to press gently on the inner corner of your eyelid for 3 minutes. This will help stop the solution draining into your nose and throat. This is especially advisable in children, the elderly and population at risk.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for the other eye if necessary, then throw away the Minims unit, even if some solution remains.
If you use more Minims1 2 Pilocarpine Nitrate than you should, an overdose is very unlikely to occur. If you suddenly feel unwell after receiving the drops, tell your doctor or eye specialist or contact your nearest emergency department immediately.

The following side effects may occur:
• temporary irritation following the administration of the drops in your eyes.
• increase of the pressure of liquid inside your eyes.
• allergic reaction (including red eyes, watering of the eyes) has been rarely reported.
The following side effects may occur when using an unusual dosage, especially in children:
• temporary effect on your balance
• temporary effects on your vision and sense of touch
