Gatoptho P Eye Drops
Description
Composition: Gatifloxacin 0.3% w/v + Prednisolone 1% w/v
Therapy/Class: Antibiotic + Corticosteroid
Mechanism of Action:
Prednisolone: A standard-of-care topical corticosteroid that binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, modulating DNA transcription to inhibit edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, and phagocytic activity associated with acute ocular inflammation.
Gatifloxacin: An 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone characterized by dual-target inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. It demonstrates excellent corneal penetration and broad-spectrum coverage, effectively eradicating common conjunctival and corneal isolates.
