About Garasol Eye Drop

Garasol Eye Drop is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and the skin around the eyes (eyelids). It is used to treat infections like conjunctivitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane (conjunctiva) of the eye), keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), keratoconjunctivitis (inflammation of conjunctiva and cornea), blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), blepharoconjunctivitis (inflammation of conjunctiva and eyelids), and corneal ulcers. Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria invade and multiply in the body. 

Garasol Eye Drop is composed of Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

FAQs

Garasol Eye Drop prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it treats bacterial infections of the eye and its surrounding areas.

It is advised to remove your contact lens while using the eye ointment. Also, remember to wash your hands before and after using the ointment to avoid contamination.

If you use other eye medications along with Garasol Eye Drop, it is advised to maintain a gap of at least 5-10 minutes after each administration. Also, use eye drops before applying any ointments.

Avoid the contact of the tip of the tube with fingers, eyes, and eyelids when using Garasol Eye Drop. Topical eye products, when contaminated by patients with eye diseases, bacterial keratitis (an infection of the cornea) and ocular infections (eye infections) may occur, which result in vision loss.

Prolonged use of eye ointment can cause an overgrowth of other microorganisms like fungi and develop bacterial resistance.

Special Advise

  • It is advised to contact your doctor if the infection symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of treatment.
  • If you experience any purulent (pus-containing) discharge or your inflammation and pain increase while using Garasol Eye Drop, please discontinue the use and consult a doctor.
