N-Mycin Ophthalmic Suspension 5ml is a specialized antifungal eye medication used to treat various fungal infections of the eye. It contains Natamycin (5%), a potent ingredient that specifically targets fungal cells. If you are experiencing redness, pain, or blurred vision due to a suspected fungal infection, N-Mycin provides targeted relief.
What is N-Mycin Eye Drop Used For?
N-Mycin is primarily prescribed for fungal infections that standard antibiotic drops cannot treat. These include:
- Fungal Keratitis: A serious infection of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye).
- Fungal Conjunctivitis: Infection of the outer lining of the eye.
- Fungal Blepharitis: Inflammation and infection of the eyelids caused by fungi.
It is highly effective against common fungi such as Aspergillus, Candida, and Fusarium.

- Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Apply the prescribed number of drops into the eye as directed by your doctor.
