Homatropine (Equipin, Isopto Homatropine) is an anticholinergic medication that is an antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system. It is used in eye drops as a cycloplegic (to temporarily paralyze accommodation), and as a mydriatic (to dilate the pupil).
The related chemical compound homatropine methylbromide (methylhomatropine) is a different medication. Homatropine is less potent than atropine and has a shorter duration of action. It is available as the hydrobromide salt. Homatropine is also given as an atropine substitute,[1] given to reverse the muscarinic and CNS effects associated with indirect cholinomimetic (anti-AChase) administration.
Homatropine hydrobromide is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[2]
It is an antagonist of all five muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.[3]
