Q & A
-
Do the Atropine Sulfate drops cause loss of appetite and drowsiness??
-
Atropine sulfate eye treatment can cause several local side effects in dogs and cats, including light sensitivity, enlarged pupils, and burning or irritation at the application site. At higher doses, it may also lead to non-local effects, such as an increased heart rate. If you notice any adverse effects or changes in behavior in your pet after starting this treatment, please consult your veterinarian.

Can you administer atropine sulfate opthamalic at the same time as a triple antibiotic or should you stager the two??
-
At this time, there are no drug interactions identified between atropine sulfate ophthalmic and triple antibiotic in our database. If using two eye drops at the same time, it is recommended to separate each medication by at least 5 minutes. If using an eye ointment and an eye drop, it’s recommended to use the drops first then wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before administering the eye ointment. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine if using these products together is appropriate for your pet, thanks!

My cat foams at the mouth every single time we put the drops in his eye. we take extra care to make sure that it doesnt get into his mouth. and it doesnt. we dont understand why this keeps happening. Is this normal??
-
According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic solution tends to dry out bodily secretions, including salvation. However, if Atropine Sulfate solution enters the mouth, it can act as a promoter of salivary secretion due to its bitter taste. The solution may be traveling through a drainage duct in the eye to the back of the throat where the cat is tasting the drugs bitterness. The drooling and foaming should decrease as the bad taste subsides. Please talk with your veterinarian about the concerns regarding this medication and your cat.

Would you please resend info on atropine ophthalmic ointment for dogs and excessive salivating. Thank you again, Wanda?
-
Lula, Excessive salivation is a known side effect of atropine sulfate. Atropine sulfate is available as an ophthalmic solution and as an ointment, through VetRxDirect. The ophthalmic ointment generally has lower reports of excessive salivation than the solution, however, it is still possible for this side effect to occur. It is recommended that you contact your veterinarian with any concerns you may have with this medication and its administration to your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

is this the same atropine sulfate 1% sterile eye drops that ophthalmologist's use for glaucoma in humans??
-
Jack, Atropine sulfate is a human-labelled medication that has uses in veterinary medicine. It is a prescription medication and will require approval from your pet's veterinarian prior to dispensing. We can obtain approval from the veterinarian in a couple of different ways, either by faxing to the clinic and having them fax back or the veterinarian may issue you a written prescription which you can then mail to us. Once a prescription is received, we can then process and ship out your order. Thank you, VetRxDirect
