Gatilox Eye Drops 5ml

Gatilox Eye Drops are used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, particularly bacterial conjunctivitis. The drops work by eliminating the bacteria responsible for infection, helping reduce eye redness, discharge, irritation, and itching. Regular use as prescribed helps resolve the infection and prevents its spread.

To use Gatilox Eye Drops, follow these steps:

• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Instil one or two drops into the pouch formed by pulling down your lower eyelid.
• Avoid touching your eye or any other surface with the dropper to prevent contamination.
• Repeat this process for your other eye if advised by your doctor.
• For precise dosage instructions and duration of use, it's best to consult your doctor.

Gatilox Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Gatilox Eye Drops are a combination medicine with the following active ingredients: 

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01 % v/v): Benzalkonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound which functions as an antiseptic. It disrupts bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and aiding in preserving the medicine.
• Gatifloxacin (3 mg): Gatifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. This prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, leading to their death.

• Store your Gatilox Eye Drops upright, in a cool place, not exceeding 30°C.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Always remember to keep medicines out of reach for children.

• If you are dealing with a bacterial eye infection, maintain a high level of personal hygiene. Regularly washing your hands can prevent further spread of bacteria.
• To help manage inflammation caused by allergies, try to identify and avoid triggers. This could include dust mites, pollen, or certain foods. Consult your doctor for more personalised advice.
