  • Gentamicin Eye Drops Medication Description

    Gentamicin ophthalmic solution is a topical antibiotic formulated to treat bacterial infections of the eye and surrounding tissues. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class and works by binding to bacterial ribosomes, disrupting protein synthesis and ultimately stopping bacterial growth. This mechanism makes gentamicin highly effective against a wide range of gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive organisms commonly responsible for eye infections. The medication is applied directly to the eye as drops, typically several times a day for a prescribed duration. It is important to follow dosing instructions carefully and avoid skipping doses, as incomplete treatment can lead to persistent infection or antibiotic resistance. Gentamicin is not effective against viral or fungal infections, so accurate diagnosis is essential before starting therapy. Patients should be counseled on proper application technique, hygiene measures, and the importance of completing the full course of treatment. While generally safe, gentamicin should be used under medical supervision to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
  • Gentamicin Eye Drops Side Effects

    Common side effects of gentamicin ophthalmic solution include mild burning, stinging, or irritation in the eye after application. Some patients may experience temporary blurred vision. Serious but rare reactions include allergic responses, severe eye redness, swelling, or pain, which require immediate medical attention. Prolonged use may lead to secondary infections or resistance. Patients should report any worsening symptoms or signs of allergic reaction promptly and use the medication exactly as prescribed to reduce risks.
