How Gatilox DF Eye Drop works
Gatilox DF Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Difluprednate and Gatifloxacin. Difluprednate is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red swollen and itchy. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria in the eye by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. This treats your infection.
