Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml

Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml consists of a combination of an eye medication containing antibiotic and corticosteroid, primarily used to treat bacterial infections, including conjunctivitis/pink eye. It also decreases the risk of eye infections such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and other eye inflammatory conditions (cornea, iris, and connective tissue) in postoperative patients. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids). A bacterial eye infection symptoms include red eyes, pain, swelling of eyes, watery eyes, itching, and blurry vision.

Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml contains Gatifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol (corticosteroid). Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic that helps treat and prevent a wide range of bacterial infections. It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Loteprednol is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. It reduces symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation of the eye, and decreases the risk of infections.

Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination of two drugs: Gatifloxacin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol (corticosteroid). Gatifloxacin belongs to the group of medicines called fluoroquinolone antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections, including conjunctivitis (pinkeye). It kills bacteria (bactericidal action) by preventing the synthesis of enzymes, namely DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV, which is essential for the growth and survival of the bacterial cell. Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against aerobic gram-positive and aerobic gram-negative bacteria (that live in oxygen). Loteprednol is a corticosteroid that works by blocking prostaglandins (a chemical messenger) in the brain, making the eye red, swollen and itchy. As a result, it reduces symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation of the eye, and decreases the risk of infections. Gatex LP Eye Drops 5 ml is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections.
