Zymaxid 0.5% Eye Solution – Product Description
Introduction
Zymaxid 0.5% Eye Solution is a prescription eye drop that belongs to a group of medicines called fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Its main active ingredient is Gatifloxacin, specially formulated for targeted action in the eyes. Although highly effective, some common side effects include mild eye irritation, temporary blurred vision, watery eyes, and an unusual taste in the mouth. Thinking of picking up a bottle? Just remember – it’s for prescription use only, easy to apply, and designed with your comfort in mind. Always handle eye medications with clean hands and follow your doctor’s advice.

Drug & Food Interaction
Zymaxid is used topically in the eye, so interactions are less common; however, you should inform your doctor if you’re using other eye drops or ointments. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes directly after application, and try not to consume food immediately afterward to minimise unexpected reactions like a bad taste from drainage into the throat.
