Directions for Use
Mydfrin 2.5% Solution is administered by, or under the direct supervision of, an eye care professional. Typically, one drop is instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of the eye being examined, with any excess solution gently blotted away with a clean tissue. Light pressure on the inner corner of the eye (punctal occlusion) for about a minute after instillation is often used to reduce the amount of drug absorbed into the general circulation. This medicine should not be self-administered outside a clinical setting without a doctor’s specific instruction.
Dosage
The usual clinical dose is one drop of Mydfrin 2.5% Solution instilled into the eye approximately 15 to 30 minutes before the examination or procedure requiring dilation, with a second drop sometimes given if the pupil has not dilated sufficiently. The exact dose, frequency, and whether the lower-strength 2.5% (rather than 10%) formulation is used depends on the patient’s age, cardiovascular health, and the judgement of the administering doctor or ophthalmologist, and should never be adjusted without medical advice.
Shelf Life
Unopened, Mydfrin 2.5% Solution is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer carton. Once opened, ophthalmic solutions such as this are typically recommended for use within about 4 weeks, after which any remaining solution should be discarded even if the printed expiry date has not yet passed, as sterility cannot be guaranteed beyond that point.
Storage Instructions
Store Mydfrin 2.5% Solution below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep the bottle tightly closed between uses. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach and sight of children, and avoid letting the dropper tip touch the eye, fingers, or any other surface to prevent contamination of the remaining solution.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Mydfrin 2.5% Solution before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store Mydfrin 2.5% Solution?
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. Keep the product in its original pack and do not use it after the printed expiry date.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Mydfrin 2.5% Solution?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Mydfrin 2.5% Solution be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Mydfrin 2.5% Solution registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
