How Flurgat Eye Drops Works
Flurgat Eye is a combination of two medicines: Flurbiprofen and Gatifloxacin which treat eye infections. Flurbiprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) in the eye. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves.

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

Quick Tips
- Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye to the other, and to other members of your family. Washing your hands regularly (particularly after touching your eyes) and not sharing towels or pillows will help to prevent the infection from spreading.
- Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up.
- Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
- Your doctor has prescribed Flurgat Eye to cure your eye infection and improve your symptoms.
- Wash your hands first before applying Flurgat Eye. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
- Along with using Flurgat Eye, give warm compress to your eyes to get relief from itching and burning sensation.
- Eye infections can cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Wearing sunglasses may help to prevent this.
- Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting in the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
