Zymar (active ingredient: gatifloxacin) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Zymar is used for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by susceptible strains of bacteria in adults and children aged 1 year and older.

Zymar belongs to a class of drugs known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics, which work by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair, leading to the elimination of the infection.

Zymar is administered as eye drops and should be instilled into the eyes every two hours while awake for two days (up to eight times daily), followed by two to four instillations per day for five days. Use Zymar eye drops at consistent times each day, following the directions on your prescription label carefully.

To use the Zymar eye drops:

  1. Wash your hands before using the medication.
  2. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.
  3. Gently pull down the lower eyelid, creating a small pocket.
  4. Turn the bottle upside down and gently apply one drop into the affected eye.
  5. Let go of the lower lid and close your eyes for half a minute.

Use Zymar Eye drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not instill a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
