Gatifloxacin & Prednisolone Acetate Eye Drops

CIPVISION GATIPRED contains Gatifloxacin & Prednisolone Acetate Eye Drops, a combination ophthalmic medication that provides both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action. Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that eliminates bacteria responsible for eye infections, while Prednisolone Acetate is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, and discomfort. Together, these ingredients offer effective treatment for bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation.

CIPVISION GATIPRED is commonly prescribed after eye surgery or for steroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions where a bacterial infection is present or there is a risk of infection. It helps promote faster recovery, reduces postoperative discomfort, and protects the eye from bacterial complications. This medication should only be used under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
