Indications

Inflammation

This preparation is used for inflammation that accompanies infections in the front (anterior) segment of the eye caused by bacteria susceptible to gentamicin. It is also indicated for postoperative infection.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococci, Haemophilus influenzae, H. aegypticus, Klebsiella, Enterobacteria, Proteus, Escherichia coli, Shigella and Salmonella, and it works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis. Fluorometholone is a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties. Together, the two ingredients treat or prevent bacterial infection while also reducing inflammation. Gentamicin's presence also guards against the risk that the steroid alone might allow a bacterial infection to worsen.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

No controlled human studies exist. Its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is therefore not recommended unless there is a compelling reason.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
