However, if they persist or get worse, inform your doctor. In case of
accidental contact with your ears, nose, or mouth, immediately rinse it with
water.

this medicine or if you are taking any other medication. It is advised not to

How Arogat-P Eye Drop works
Arogat-P Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing them. Prednisolone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. This how it works to treat bacterial eye infections.
