Gerocin Dps Eye Drop

Gerocin Dps Eye Drop is a gentamicin eye drop used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each drop contains the amount of gentamicin stated on the label of Gerocin Dps Eye Drop, and gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works in the eye to stop susceptible bacteria from growing and to help clear infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis and other superficial eye infections.

How it works: Gentamicin damages bacterial proteins so the germs cannot survive or multiply. As Gerocin Dps Eye Drop, it delivers the medicine directly to the eye surface for local antibacterial action.

Gerocin Dps Eye Drop is a standard prescription eye-drop strength with no other strengths or forms of this brand sold here. Because it is supplied as an eye drop, it is meant for local treatment in the eye rather than body-wide use, which helps target the infection where it is needed. A doctor may choose Gerocin Dps Eye Drop when a topical antibiotic is appropriate and the infection is expected to respond to gentamicin.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Superficial bacterial eye infection
• Bacterial blepharitis
• Doctor-directed treatment of susceptible eye bacteria

• Wash your hands before using Gerocin Dps Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently after the drop and press the inner corner of the eye for 1 minute if your doctor advises it.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Replace the cap tightly after each use and use Gerocin Dps Eye Drop only for the eye, not by mouth.

The amount provided by Gerocin Dps Eye Drop is the labeled gentamicin dose per drop in this eye-drop form. It is usually used several times a day, but the exact frequency and the maximum number of drops per day depend on the infection and the prescriber’s directions. Your doctor decides the right dosing schedule for this specific strength of Gerocin Dps Eye Drop.
