Homatropine hydrobromide is an anticholinergic agent that blocks muscarinic receptors. It is used in ophthalmology to dilate the pupil before examinations and eye surgeries.

The mechanism of action is the competitive blocking of muscarinic receptors in the ciliary muscle and sphincter of the pupil, which leads to mydriasis (dilation of the pupil).

Homatropine hydrobromide is available in the form of eye drops and is used only as directed by a doctor. Side effects include increased intraocular pressure and allergic reactions.
