Vatiflo-P Eye Drop

Description

Vatiflo-P Eye Drop is a combination eye drop formulation used to treat bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye). This ophthalmic suspension combines two active ingredients: Gatifloxacin, an antibiotic, and Prednisolone, a corticosteroid. The combination works synergistically to both eliminate the bacterial infection and reduce the inflammation, swelling, and discomfort commonly associated with eye infections.

Key Ingredients

• Gatifloxacin (0.3% w/v): An antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA-gyrase, which is essential for bacterial replication and repair, thereby killing the bacteria causing the infection.
• Prednisolone (1% w/v): A corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching in the eye.

Uses of Vatiflo-P Eye Drop

• Treatment of bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), caused by susceptible bacteria. It helps relieve symptoms like pain, redness, swelling, itching, and irritation in the eyes.

Benefits of Vatiflo-P Eye Drop

• Dual Action: Gatifloxacin works as an antibiotic to eliminate the infection, while Prednisolone helps reduce the inflammation caused by the infection, leading to faster healing and symptom relief.
• Effective for Conjunctivitis: Vatiflo-P is effective in treating bacterial conjunctivitis, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort.
• Symptom Relief: It helps in relieving symptoms such as pain, itching, burning, and swelling caused by the infection.
• Prevents Infection Recurrence: Ensures that the infection is completely cured if the full course is followed.

How to Use Vatiflo-P Eye Drop

1. Wash your hands before applying the eye drops.
2. Shake the bottle if necessary (refer to the label).
3. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
4. Hold the dropper close to your eye (without touching it) and squeeze the dropper to release the prescribed amount of drops into the lower eyelid.
5. Close your eye gently and wipe off any excess liquid with a clean tissue.
6. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the eye, to avoid contamination.
