DESCRIPTION:
Pred is a combination of gatifloxacin a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial and prednisolone, a potent corticosteroid. Corticosteroids suppress the inflammatory response to a variety of agents and they probably delay or slow healing. Since corticosteroids may inhibit the body's defense mechanism against infection, a concomitant antimicrobial drug may be used when this inhibition is considered to be clinically significant.

Prednisolone Acetate USP 10 mg
Benzalkonium Chloride IP/USNF 0.06 mg
Purified Water IP q.s.

For steroid responsive inflammation of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe.
