To use Genticyn 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.

• For precise dosage instructions and duration of use, it's best to consult your doctor.

Genticyn Eye Drops are instilled topically.

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

Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02%): 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.

Gentamicin (0.3%): Gentamicin is an antibiotic known as an aminoglycoside. It binds to specific elements within bacterial cells known as 30S ribosomal proteins and 16S rRNA. This action disrupts protein synthesis in the bacteria, which is critical for their growth and replication. Furthermore, Gentamicin affects the decoding of genetic information in the bacteria, causing errors and resulting in faulty proteins. Ultimately, these disruptions damage the bacterial cell membrane and eventually cause the cells to die. It is worth noting that Gentamicin's action is specifically directed against bacteria, and it does not affect human cells in the same way. This makes it an effective choice for managing various bacterial infections.
