FAQs
Can I use Genbiotic Eye Drop while wearing contact lenses?
No, you should remove contact lenses before applying Genbiotic Eye Drops. It is best to avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment and eye infections unless specifically approved by your doctor.

When using multiple eye medications, wait 5-10 minutes between applications. This prevents one medication from washing out the other. If using both, always apply eye drops before eye ointments. It is best to ask your doctor for help ensuring efficacy and safety.

Genbiotic Eye Drops should be avoided in cases of known hypersensitivity to Gentamicin or similar antibiotics, viral or fungal eye infections, untreated Glaucoma, and recent eye surgery without a doctor's approval. Always inform your eye care provider about your medical history and medications for safe and efficient use.
What if I don't get better after using Genbiotic Eye Drop?
If symptoms persist after 48-72 hours of treatment or worsen at any time, contact your doctor immediately. This could indicate that the infection is resistant to the antibiotic or may not be bacterial.
Can I stop taking Genbiotic Eye Drop if I feel better?
No, complete the entire course of treatment of Genbiotic Eye Drop as prescribed, even if symptoms improve. Stopping early can lead to recurrence of infection and may contribute to antibiotic resistance.
