How should I use Gatifloxacin?

This medicine is only for use in the eye. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash hands before and after each use. Try not to touch the tip of the dropper to anything, even your eye or fingertips. Tilt your head back slightly and pull your lower eyelid down with your finger to form a pouch. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pouch. Close the eye gently. Your vision may blur for a few minutes. Use your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Finish the full course prescribed by your doctor or health care professional even if you think your condition is better.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed. While this drug may be prescribed for selected conditions, precautions do apply.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Gatifloxacin contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Gatifloxacin is only for you. Do not share Gatifloxacin with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
