Gentamicin eye drops are made to treat bacterial infections that affect the eye and the area around it. They contain gentamicin sulfate, an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from growing and spreading. This helps reduce common symptoms like redness, swelling, and discharge.
These drops are often used when the eyes are dealing with something like conjunctivitis, also known as pink or red eye, or blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. In more serious cases, they may also be used for corneal ulcers. Whatever the situation, the goal is simple: get the infection under control and help your eyes feel more normal again.
Once applied, the drops begin working right at the surface of the eye. They go straight to the problem area, making it harder for bacteria to multiply. That means the infection has less of a chance to spread or get worse.
Gentamicin is not a long term treatment. It is usually used for a few days at a time and should always be used exactly as instructed. Using it too often or for too long can cause irritation or make bacteria less responsive to treatment in the future. The bottle is small and easy to use, with a built-in dropper for quick application.
Make sure to store the drops in a cool, dry place and use them within the recommended time once the bottle is open. Do not keep using them once the treatment period is over, even if there is some left.
Gentamicin eye drops are a simple and effective way to deal with bacterial eye infections. When your eyes need help clearing out infection and calming irritation, this is a practical solution that gets to work fast.
