Overview
Maxitrol Eye Drop is supplied as eye drops, with Neomycin Sulfate. It is supplied in a pack size of 5ml.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Maxitrol Eye Drop should only be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation. Wash your hands, tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and instil the prescribed number of drops into the pocket without letting the dropper tip touch the eye, eyelid, or any surface. Close your eyes gently for one to two minutes and apply light pressure at the inner corner of the eye to reduce drainage into the tear duct.
Dosage
The usual prescribed dose is 1 to 2 drops instilled into the affected eye(s) every 4 to 6 hours, or as directed by your prescribing doctor, with treatment duration typically limited to a short course to reduce the risk of steroid-related side effects. If more than one type of eye drop is prescribed, wait at least 5 minutes between different products, and do not use more often or for longer than prescribed.
Shelf Life
Maxitrol Eye Drop is generally stable up to the expiry date printed on the packaging when unopened and stored correctly; once opened, the bottle should typically be discarded within 4 weeks as advised by your pharmacist to reduce the risk of contamination and infection.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed between uses. Keep out of reach of children, and do not use the drops past their expiry date or beyond the recommended in-use period after opening.

Drug / Food Interactions
- Space at least 5 minutes apart from other eye drops if more than one product is prescribed

Quick Tips
- Always complete the course as prescribed and attend any follow-up review your doctor recommends
- Do not use for longer than prescribed, as prolonged steroid use can raise eye pressure or cause cataracts
- Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, skin, or any surface to prevent contamination
- If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use unless your doctor says otherwise
- Seek prompt medical review if symptoms worsen, vision changes, or eye pain increases

Why is there no information here about what Maxitrol Eye Drop is for?
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.
How should I use Maxitrol Eye Drop?
Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Maxitrol Eye Drop 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 Maxitrol Eye Drop?
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed between uses. Keep out of reach of children, and do not use the drops past their expiry date or beyond the recommended in-use period after opening. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Maxitrol Eye Drop?
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 Maxitrol Eye Drop 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 Maxitrol Eye Drop 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.
