Gatilox Dm Eye Drops 10ml

Gatillox DM Eye Drops are used for managing the following health conditions:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis: This is a common and uncomfortable eye infection caused by bacteria.

• Superficial ocular infections: These are infections that affect the outer layer of your eyes.

• Inflammation associated with bacterial eye infections: This medicine helps reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort in the eyes due to bacterial infections.

To use Gatillox DM Eye Drops effectively, follow these instructions:

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before using the drops.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Gently squeeze a few drops into the pocket without touching your eye with the dropper.

• Close your eye and gently press your finger to the inside corner of your eye for about 1 minute, to prevent the liquid from draining into your tear duct.

• Repeat these steps as directed by your doctor.

• If you're unsure about any part of this process, consult your doctor for further advice.

Gatillox DM Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Gatillox DM Eye Drops contains three active ingredients:

• Gatifloxacin (3 mg): Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It fights against bacteria by inhibiting enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are crucial for bacterial DNA replication. By disrupting this process, gatifloxacin causes bacterial cell death.

• Dexamethasone (1 mg): As a potent corticosteroid, dexamethasone helps to suppress inflammation in your eyes. It does this by blocking the release of substances that cause inflammation and thereby reducing capillary permeability. This action helps alleviate symptoms such as redness and swelling in your eyes.

• Benzalkonium chloride (0.01%): This ingredient serves as an antimicrobial preservative in the formulation, helping to maintain its sterility over multiple uses. In addition to preserving the drops, benzalkonium chloride also aids in enhancing the penetration of the active ingredients into your cornea.

• Store the unopened Gatillox DM Eye Drops bottle in a refrigerator between 2°C to 8°C.

• Once opened, keep it at room temperature up to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and air exposure.

• Ensure it is out of reach of children.

• To help manage bacterial eye infections, maintain a high standard of personal hygiene. Avoid touching your eyes with dirty hands and regularly wash your pillowcases and towels.

• If you're suffering from ocular inflammation, wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce discomfort caused by bright lights.
