This preparation may cause CNS disturbances.

This is especially true in younger age groups, but may occur at any age, especially with the stronger solutions.

Infants are especially prone to CNS and cardiopulmonary side effects from cyclopentolate.

Observe infants closely for at least 30 minutes following instillation.Mydriatics may produce a transient elevation of intraocular pressure.
