How Genoptic HC Eye Drop works

Genoptic HC Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Gentamicin and Hydrocortisone. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth in the eye by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.
