Side Effects

No common side effects listed.

Gat P Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing thereby killing them. Prednisolone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. This how it works to treat bacterial eye infections.

Gat P Eye Drop must be used as per dose and duration suggested by the doctor. If you wear soft contact lenses remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Gat P Eye Drop might cause blurring of vision. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Avoid contact with your nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the drop in these areas.
