Gatsun Eye Drop

Gatsun Eye Drop is a prescription gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each drop contains gatifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, in the strength listed on the pack of Gatsun Eye Drop. It is used for short-term treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and other bacterial infections of the outer eye, when a clinician confirms an antibiotic eye drop is appropriate.

How it works: Gatifloxacin stops bacteria from multiplying by blocking enzymes they need to copy and repair their DNA. In Gatsun Eye Drop, this action happens right on the eye surface, helping reduce the infection where it is active.

Gatsun Eye Drop is the standard liquid eye-drop form, so it is usually chosen when quick spreading across the eye surface and easy daytime use matter. Compared with Gatsun Eye Ointment, it tends to feel less greasy and may be more comfortable during the day, while Gatsun Forte Eye Drop is a stronger sibling product that may be selected by a doctor when a higher-intensity formulation is needed. The exact fit depends on the infection, symptom severity, and how your prescriber wants the medicine delivered to the eye.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Treatment of susceptible eye bacteria
• Doctor-directed short-term antibiotic eye therapy

• Wash your hands before using Gatsun Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• After instilling the drop, gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes; do not rub it.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use and ask your doctor when it is safe to put them back in.

Gatsun Eye Drop provides gatifloxacin in the labeled concentration for ophthalmic use, and the exact dose is measured in drops, not by swallowing. Your doctor decides how many drops to use in each eye and how often to use them; eye-drops like this are commonly used several times a day at first, but the schedule should follow the prescription for this specific product. Do not use more often than directed, because higher use does not make the infection clear faster and may increase irritation.

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

Common side effects of Gatifloxacin may include:

• Temporary eye stinging or burning
• Mild eye irritation
• Blurred vision right after instilling the drop
• Eye redness
• Bitter taste in the mouth
• Watery eyes

• Use only for bacterial infections; it will not treat viral or fungal eye problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergy to gatifloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination of the bottle.
• If you wear contact lenses, do not use them during an active eye infection unless your prescriber specifically allows it.
• Use caution driving or doing close work right after dosing because temporary blurred vision can occur.
• If you are using other prescription eye drops or ointments, spacing them out can improve absorption and reduce washout.
• Use exactly as prescribed; this formulation is for local eye use and is not meant to be injected or swallowed.

• Other ophthalmic medicines, which may need to be spaced apart by several minutes
• Contact lenses, which can worsen irritation and should usually be avoided during infection
• Other antibiotics for the eye, if prescribed together, because timing may matter
• Any known fluoroquinolone allergy or prior severe reaction to this antibiotic class

Store Gatsun Eye Drop at the temperature recommended on the package insert, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excessive heat or light.
