How Gatifloxacin + Prednisolone works

Gatifloxacin + Prednisolone is a combination of two medicines. Gatifloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing them. Prednisolone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. This how it works to treat bacterial eye infections.
