Tropicamide 1% Ophthalmic Solution
Mydriacyl is a fast‑acting, short‑duration tropicamide formulation widely used in veterinary ophthalmology for diagnostic mydriasis in dogs; its rapid onset and relatively brief effect make it the go‑to choice when brief pupil dilation is needed without prolonged cycloplegia. Compared with atropine and cyclopentolate it offers lower monitoring burden and quicker return of vision, and when paired with phenylephrine it provides predictable dilation at a modest cost, making it financially attractive for routine clinic use.

Pred Forte 1% Ophthalmic Suspension
Pred Forte (prednisolone acetate 1%) is a veterinary-favored corticosteroid suspension that provides strong anterior segment penetration and reliable control of inflammatory allergic signs in dogs, often priced competitively for acute treatment. While technically comparable to other steroid drops like Maxidex for potency, Pred Forte is similarly limited for long-term management due to steroid-related adverse effects, so it is commonly used for rapid symptom control before transitioning to steroid-sparing options to minimize total treatment cost and risk.
