Medicinal Benefits

Fiago P Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Gatifloxacin and Prednisolone. Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone and broad-spectrum antibiotic. It can act against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It acts by interfering with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It reduces symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation of the eye and decreases the risk of infections.
