Features / Experimentation
Extragat Eye Drops contain Gatifloxacin 0.5%, a broad-spectrum fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic that effectively treats bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms. It provides rapid antibacterial action by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, helping relieve ocular infection while preventing bacterial proliferation.
Indications
Extragat Eye Drops are indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible bacterial strains.
Pharmacodynamics
Gatifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative ocular pathogens. It acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, two essential bacterial enzymes responsible for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and chromosome segregation during cell division. This dual mechanism disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis, resulting in rapid inhibition of bacterial growth and elimination of susceptible organisms causing ocular infections.
Dosage and administration
For patients aged 1 year and older, instill one drop into the affected eye(s) every two hours while awake, up to eight times on Day 1. From Day 2 through Day 7, instill one drop up to four times daily, or as directed by the physician.
Contraindications
Extragat Eye Drops are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Gatifloxacin, other quinolone antibiotics, or any component of the formulation.
