How Lotegate Products work
Gatifloxacin + Loteprednol etabonate is a combination of two medicines: Gatifloxacin + Loteprednol etabonate1 and Gatifloxacin + Loteprednol etabonate2. Gatifloxacin + Loteprednol etabonate1 is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria in the eye by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. This treats your infection. Gatifloxacin + Loteprednol etabonate2 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red swollen and itchy.
