Zymar Eye Drops 5Ml

Zymar Eye Drops are used for managing bacterial conjunctivitis and its associated symptoms in adults and children effectively.

Uses of Zymar Eye Drops are:

• Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Used to manage a bacterial infection of the conjunctiva, the clear layer covering the white part of your eye and inner eyelid.
• Redness and Swelling: Manages redness and swelling in the eyes often associated with bacterial conjunctivitis.
• Eye Irritation and Itching: Alleviates eye irritation and itching, common discomforts experienced with bacterial conjunctivitis.
• Eye Discharge: Addresses eye discharge that accompanies bacterial conjunctivitis.

To use Zymar Eye Drops effectively, follow these instructions:

• Shake well before use to ensure proper mixing of the medicine.

• Before instillation, remove any contact lenses you might be wearing.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid.

• Bring the dropper close to your eye (avoid touching it) and gently squeeze out one drop.

• Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes after instillation to allow the medicine to spread evenly.

• If you need to instil other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes before doing so.

• After use, replace the cap immediately to prevent contamination.

• If you have any queries regarding these instructions or if you need advice tailored to your needs, consult your doctor.

Zymar Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Zymar Eye Drops contain gatifloxacin (0.3%), which acts on your body as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV: Gatifloxacin works by blocking two enzymes in bacteria called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes play a crucial role in the replication and transcription of bacterial DNA.

• Prevents Bacterial DNA Replication: By inhibiting these enzymes, gatifloxacin effectively stops bacterial DNA from replicating, which prevents further growth of the bacteria.

• Causes Cell Death: Once bacterial growth is stopped, it leads to the death of the bacterial cells, thus managing the infection.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Gatifloxacin has a wide range of activity against various types of bacteria that commonly cause eye infections, making it effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial strains.

• Store your Zymar Eye Drops at a cool room temperature between 15-25°C; avoid freezing.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent entry of air and moisture.

• Place it in a location that is out of the reach of children.

• Use the eye drops within 1 month after opening.

• Maintain good eye hygiene to prevent bacterial conjunctivitis, which Zymar Eye Drops manage. This includes regularly washing your hands, avoiding touching your eyes with dirty hands, and using clean towels and face cloths.

• If you wear contact lenses, ensure they are properly cleaned and disinfected daily. Also, avoid wearing them for prolonged periods as this can increase the risk of eye infections.
