Gatsun 5 mL Eye Drop

Gatsun 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains gatifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each Gatsun 5 mL Eye Drop bottle provides 5 mL of sterile solution for ophthalmic use. It works against bacteria that cause conditions such as bacterial conjunctivitis, helping reduce redness, discharge, and irritation when the infection is bacterial. This product is not for viral or fungal eye infections.

How it works: Gatifloxacin stops bacteria from making and repairing their DNA, which prevents the germs from multiplying. In eye-drop form, it delivers the antibiotic directly to the surface of the eye where the infection is present.

Gatsun 5 mL Eye Drop is the standard single-bottle ophthalmic presentation, so the 5 mL size is meant to supply a full treatment course for one or both eyes as prescribed. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Gatsun listed here, this bottle size is simply the available eye-drop presentation, and a doctor may choose it based on the severity of infection, how many days of treatment are needed, and how much medicine is likely to be used.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Redness and discharge due to bacterial infection
• Doctor-directed treatment for susceptible eye bacteria

• Use exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor; wash your hands before each use.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use and do not put them back in until your doctor says it is okay.
• Use the drops for the full prescribed course even if your eye feels better sooner.

Gatsun 5 mL Eye Drop provides 5 mL of gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution in one bottle; the exact number of drops per dose depends on the dropper and is not set by the bottle size. The doctor decides how often to use it, how many days to continue, and whether one or both eyes need treatment, so do not change the schedule on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Gatifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Redness of the eye
• Itching or watering
• Blurred vision right after use
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth

• Use only for bacterial eye infections; it will not treat viral pink eye or allergies.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your prescriber specifically allows it.
• If you are allergic to gatifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, do not use this eye drop.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after dosing, so use caution when driving or using machinery right after applying it.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of severe allergy to antibiotics or eye-surface problems.
• Use the bottle only for the person it was prescribed for; do not share eye drops.
• If symptoms worsen or do not improve as directed, contact your doctor promptly.

• Other prescription or over-the-counter eye drops
• Eye ointments or lubricating drops used at the same time
• Contact lens solutions and lens wear during treatment
• Medicines that can also cause tendon or nerve problems, if your doctor is considering overall fluoroquinolone use
