Uses of Loxiget Eye Ointment

Loxiget Eye Ointment eye drops are used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis and other surface infections of the eye caused by bacteria sensitive to gatifloxacin. Typical signs include red, sticky eyes with yellow or green discharge and crusting of the lids. Eye specialists may also use it to help prevent infection after eye surgery. It does not work for viral or allergic red eyes.

How Loxiget Eye Ointment works

Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It blocks enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, so they cannot multiply and are killed. Using the drops directly on the eye delivers the antibiotic to where the infection is.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Loxiget Eye Ointment are usually mild and limited to the eye. They can include:

• Stinging or burning on use
• Eye irritation or redness
• Watery eyes
• Temporary blurred vision
• Change in taste

Stop using it and see a doctor promptly if your eye becomes very painful, your vision worsens, or you notice swelling of the eyelids or face, or a rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not let the dropper tip touch the eye or any surface, to keep the bottle free from germs.
• Remove contact lenses before use and avoid wearing them while the eye is infected.
• Use the drops for the full time prescribed, even if the eye looks better sooner.
• See your doctor if there is no improvement within a few days.
• Tell your doctor if you have reacted to ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
