Gracin Eye Drop is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and the skin around the eyes (eyelids). It is used to treat infections like conjunctivitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane (conjunctiva) of the eye), keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), keratoconjunctivitis (inflammation of conjunctiva and cornea), blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), blepharoconjunctivitis (inflammation of conjunctiva and eyelids), and corneal ulcers. Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria invade and multiply in the body.
Gracin Eye Drop is composed of Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Gracin Eye Drop is for ophthalmic (for the eye) use only. Common side effects of Gracin Eye Drop include eye redness, burning or a stinging sensation at the application site, and temporary blurred vision.
