Duboisine is used principally as a mydriatic. It is much stronger than atropine, and is sometimes employed hypodermically in mental diseases. Dose, 1-80 to 1-30 gr. Externally, in 0.2 to 0.8% solution. Homeopathic ophthalmologists use the 3x dilution of Duboisia, or corkwood tree, in the treatment of conjunctivitis, hyperemia of the retina, and for pain over the eyes.
