Eye & Ear Drops Drugs in Nigeria

Apollo — the Nigerian name for conjunctivitis — sweeps through schools and offices every year, and chloramphenicol drops are the standard answer for the bacterial kind. Ofloxacin covers tougher eye and ear infections, and timolol quietly does one of the most important jobs in this list: holding down eye pressure in glaucoma, a disease that steals sight from the edges inward and runs strongly in West African families.

Two habits protect eyes here. First, throw drops away a month after opening — an old bottle is a bacteria culture, not a medicine. Second, never share drops or borrow 'the one that worked' for a red eye: viral apollo needs no antibiotic at all, and a painful red eye with blurred vision is an emergency, not a pharmacy errand. Anyone over 40 with glaucoma in the family should have their eye pressure checked regularly; timolol only helps the people who know they need it.
