Gatifloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic used for bacterial eye infections (conjunctivitis) which works by killing the bacteria that cause infection. It prevents the bacteria from dividing and repairing and stops the action of a bacterial enzyme.
Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic agent and a member of the fourth-generation fluoroquinolone family. It works by inhibiting the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It was first introduced by Bristol-Myers Squibb in 1999 under the brand name Tequin® for the treatment of respiratory tract infections.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
