Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops is an ophthalmic solution used in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. This medication is an antibiotic that belongs to the quinolone class of antibacterial medication. ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops do not absorb into the systemic circulation and are designed to work for localized infections of the eye.
ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops treat a variety of different bacterial organisms. The medication works by attaching to bacterial enzymes that repair bacterial DNA. By inhibiting these enzymes, ZYMAR eye drops prevent bacteria from replicating.
ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops cannot treat viral eye infections and they should not be used to treat allergies or allergic symptoms. They do not treat symptoms of inflammation, itchiness, or redness caused by factors other than a bacterial infection.
The price for ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops may vary by retailer. Please see other sections of this page for pricing information.
ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops are instilled into the affected eye every two hours while awake, up to eight times per day for days 1 and 2, and up to four times per day while awake for days 3 through 7. ZYMAR eye drops should be used for the full duration as directed by a physician, even if symptoms start to improve. Stopping ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops before completing a course of therapy increases the risk of bacterial resistance, which may require a stronger antibacterial for future treatment.
ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops contain 0.3% gatifloxacin (3 mg/mL). Inactive ingredients include benzalkonium chloride 0.005%, edetate disodium, purified water, and sodium chloride. Formulations may contain hydrochloride or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to match that of the eye.
Do not use ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops if you have a known hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) to any of the active or inactive ingredients.
Using ZYMAR eye drops for longer than directed or in a way that is different than prescribed may cause the growth of organisms that are resistant to the antibacterial gatifloxacin. Resistant organisms will no longer be susceptible to ZYMAR eye drops and alternative treatments may be necessary.
The tip of the bottle used to apply ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops should not directly touch the tissue of the eye. Doing so may result in corneal endothelial cell injury (damage to the cornea of the eye).
Among groups of people that use ZYMAR (gatifloxacin) eye drops, about 5-10% may develop one or more of the following side effects:
