How Genoptic B Products work
Betamethasone + Gentamicin is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone + Gentamicin1 and Betamethasone + Gentamicin2. Betamethasone + Gentamicin1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone + Gentamicin2 is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Avoid continuing to use Genoptic B Eye Drop or any steroid-containing eye medicine after this time period.
