Gatifloxacin (0.5% w/v)
Active composition
Gatifloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial DNA replication and transcription, leading to bacterial cell death.
Medical applications
Gaticon-HS Eye Drop contains Gatifloxacin 0.5% w/v, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye. Gatifloxacin exhibits potent bactericidal activity by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This ophthalmic solution is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens commonly implicated in ocular infections, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gaticon-HS Eye Drop is primarily used for the management of bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections. The formulation ensures rapid penetration into ocular tissues, providing effective drug concentrations at the site of infection. It is generally well tolerated, with minimal adverse effects such as transient ocular irritation or discomfort upon instillation. Gaticon-HS Eye Drop should be used as directed by a healthcare professional, typically administered as one to two drops into the affected eye(s) every two to four hours initially, followed by a reduced frequency as the infection resolves. Caution is advised in patients with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones. Proper hygiene and adherence to the prescribed regimen are essential to prevent resistance development and ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
