What is Eyesintact? Eyesintact is an eye drop with the main ingredient Gentamicin 0.3%.

Gentamicin acts through the mechanism of attaching to the ribosomes of bacterial cells, thereby preventing bacteria from performing translation, preventing protein synthesis, and preventing bacteria from proliferating.
Gentamicin is sensitive mainly to gram-negative aerobic bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria such as pneumococci, streptococci, and staphylococci (including methicillin-resistant staphylococci and penicillinase-producing staphylococci). Gentamicin is also active against some Actinomyces and Mycoplasma.
