About Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml

Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to the ophthalmic eye medications primarily used to treat post-operative eye pain and inflammation. The eye is a very fragile organ and requires extreme care before, during and after a surgical procedure to minimize or prevent further damage. It causes some conditions like pain, redness, and swelling associated with surgeries of the eyes.

Gatilox Plus Eye Drop 5 ml contains two medicines: Gatifloxacin and Ketorolac. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing bacterial cell division and cell repair. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is a painkiller. It works by blocking the release of several chemical messengers that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and pain in the eye. Together it relieves pain and inflammation.
