46
Q

What are the actions of PAREMYD?

A
  • Mydriasis independent of age or pigmentation
  • Faster recovery than phenylephrine/tropicamide combo thus better suited for a shallow angle
  • No benefit from pre-anesthetizing cornea
  • Differentiate pre/post-ganglionic dennervation
47
Q

what are the adverse effects PAREMYD?

A

Similar to phenylephrine except, systemic hypertension –> tachycardia

48
