About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Gatilox Eye Drops contain Gatifloxacin 0.3% w/v, a broad-spectrum fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and other superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gatifloxacin exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, thereby leading to bacterial cell death. These sterile ophthalmic drops provide rapid relief from symptoms such as redness, irritation, and discharge associated with bacterial eye infections. Gatilox Eye Drops are typically administered as one drop instilled into the affected eye(s) every two to four hours initially, followed by a reduction in frequency as the infection resolves, according to the prescribing physician’s instructions. The formulation is designed for optimal ocular penetration and minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects. Patients should avoid contact lens use during treatment unless otherwise advised. Common adverse reactions may include mild transient burning or stinging upon instillation. Gatilox Eye Drops should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to gatifloxacin or other quinolones. Proper hygiene and adherence to dosing schedules are essential to prevent resistance development and ensure therapeutic efficacy.
