Gentamicin Ophthalmic Solution

Gentamicin Ophthalmic Solution is a broad-spectrum antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and blepharitis. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of infection-causing bacteria. The solution is typically applied directly into the eye 2–4 times daily as prescribed. It helps relieve symptoms like redness, swelling, and discharge. Proper hygiene and adherence to the dosage schedule are important to avoid resistance and recurrence.
