Lotegain-T Eye Drops 5 ml

Lotegain-T Eye Drops 5 ml is an ophthalmic (for eye use) medication, primarily used to treat and prevent bacterial eye infections. It is effectively used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, severe acne, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns. 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).

Lotegain-T Eye Drops 5 ml contains two medicines: Tobramycin (an antibiotic) and Loteprednol (a corticosteroid). Tobramycin belongs to a class of antibiotics called aminoglycosides. It inhibits bacterial growth by interfering with protein synthesis. It binds to the bacteria's proteins, disrupting the cell membrane, and eventually leading to cell death. Loteprednol belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that cause the eye to become red, swollen, and itchy.
