About GCOM DROP

GCOM DROP 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.

GCOM DROP 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.

Take GCOM DROP as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take GCOM DROP for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience common side effects like eye irritation, watery eyes, and a burning sensation. Most of these side effects of GCOM DROP do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Please do not use GCOM DROP without consulting your doctor if you have asthma, bleeding disorders and allergic reactions to GCOM DROP and its components. Avoid touching the dropper with bare hands or taking it closer to the eyelids while administering drops since it contaminates the dropper tip and solution. It is advised to check with your doctor before using GCOM DROP if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Consumption of alcohol is not recommended during treatment with this GCOM DROP due to the increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Do not use GCOM DROP in case of blurred vision or using any contact lens.
