Midozole is a potent ophthalmic antibiotic solution containing Chloramphenicol, a well-established broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth and multiplication of a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This makes it a primary choice for treating acute surface infections of the eye that cause redness, discharge, and irritation.
In Nigeria, Midozole is a widely trusted brand for managing common eye conditions like "Pink Eye" and eyelid inflammation. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive sterile, authentic medication to protect their vision from infectious damage.
Important: This is a prescription-only medicine. It must only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Do not use this antibiotic to treat viral or fungal eye infections, as it will not be effective. Prolonged use should be avoided to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance or secondary infections.
Midozole Eye Drops are primarily used to treat:
Acute bacterial conjunctivitis (infection of the outer lining of the eye)
Bacterial keratitis (inflammation of the cornea)
Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) and styes
Infections caused by susceptible strains of Staphylococci and Streptococci
Prophylaxis (prevention) of infection following minor eye injuries or foreign body removal

Can I use Midozole for "Apollo"?
"Apollo" is often viral, while Midozole is for bacterial infections. If your eyes are very sticky with yellow or green discharge, it is likely bacterial and Midozole can help. Consult your pharmacist for a proper assessment.
How long can I keep the bottle once opened?
To ensure the drops remain sterile and safe, the bottle should be discarded 28 days after opening, even if there is still liquid left inside.
Can I use these drops while wearing my contact lenses?
No. Contact lenses can trap bacteria and the medication against the eye, worsening the infection. You should wait until the infection is fully resolved before wearing lenses again.
Where can I purchase Midozole Eye Drops in Nigeria?
You can fill your prescription for Midozole at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed quality and professional pharmaceutical care.
