Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml

Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml is used to treat and prevent certain bacterial eye infections while reducing inflammation and pain after eye surgery. The detailed uses of Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml are as follows:

• Post-operative eye inflammation and pain: Helps reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort after eye surgeries like cataract removal.
• Prevention of bacterial eye infections: Protects the delicate tissues of the eye from harmful bacteria during the critical recovery period after surgery.

Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml offers comprehensive support for patients recovering from eye surgery by helping address two common post-operative challenges: pain and the risk of bacterial infection. By combining two active therapeutic actions in a single eye drop, it simplifies your treatment routine, reducing the need to manage multiple separate medications while supporting a smoother and more comfortable recovery. This medicine offers several important benefits: 

• Helps Prevent Bacterial Eye Infections: Contains gatifloxacin, an antibiotic that helps treat and prevent susceptible bacterial infections, reducing the risk of infection during recovery after eye surgery.
• Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Contains ketorolac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps relieve eye pain, redness, and inflammation following ophthalmic procedures.
• Supports Post-operative Eye Recovery: By addressing both infection prevention and inflammation in a single formulation, it helps promote a more comfortable recovery and reduces the need for multiple eye medications.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form a pocket. Instill the number of drops advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml is for ophthalmic use only.
• Avoid touching the container tip to your eye or lids to prevent contamination.

• Avoid Contact Lenses: Avoid wearing contact lenses during your entire treatment course unless your doctor explicitly tells you it is safe to do so.
• Protect Your Eyes: Wear dark sunglasses when outdoors to protect your healing eyes from dust, wind, and sensitivity to bright sunlight.
• Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes: Never rub or touch your eyes, as this can introduce bacteria or cause mechanical damage to the healing cornea.
• Reduce Eye Strain: Limit screen time on digital devices, such as phones, computers, and TVs, to prevent eye strain and dryness during recovery.
• Eat a Balanced Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which are found in leafy greens and citrus fruits, to support your body's natural healing processes.

• Inspect the Solution Before Use: Always inspect the solution before use; do not use the eye drops if the liquid is cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
• Avoid Contaminating the Dropper: Keep the dropper tip clean by avoiding any contact with your eye, eyelashes, fingers, or other objects.
• Space Other Eye Medicines: If you are using other eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes after applying Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml before using them.
• Take Care When Driving: Do not drive, ride a bicycle, or operate machinery immediately after applying the drops, as your vision may be temporarily blurry.
• Complete the Full Course: Ensure you complete the full course of treatment prescribed by your doctor, even if your eye feels completely better.
