Gatifloxacin PCD Franchise & Manufacturers

Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. In India today it is used mostly as an eye drop for bacterial conjunctivitis and other eye infections, and after eye surgery. It is a prescription medicine.

Ophthalmologists are the main prescribers, followed by general physicians. Chemists inside or near eye hospitals and clinics carry most of the volume, and cataract surgery centres are steady buyers.

Eye care is a focused segment. A distributor who builds relations with a handful of eye hospitals and their chemists can often generate regular orders from a fairly small product list.

Gatifloxacin drops, tablets and eye care combinations

Companies list gatifloxacin as:

• Drops for eye use, the main format
• Tablet listings in some anti-infective ranges
• Syrup or suspension in a few cases

In eye drops it is commonly combined with a steroid such as prednisolone acetate or prednisolone, or with an anti inflammatory like ketorolac or flurbiprofen, mostly for use after eye surgery.

Selecting an ophthalmic franchise company

An eye care bag should include lubricants, anti allergy drops, steroid drops and other antibiotic drops. Check that the company has these. Compare PTR, MRP and margin per bottle. Confirm the monopoly area in writing. Look at bottle quality, nozzle design and tamper seals. Ask how expiry stock is returned, since eye drops have a short use period once opened. Literature for ophthalmologists helps at launch.

Ask the company how fast it can replace short dated stock, since eye hospitals are strict about expiry dates. Quick replacement keeps your relationship with the hospital pharmacy in good shape.

Third-party manufacturing of gatifloxacin eye drops

Eye drops must be made on a sterile ophthalmic line, so check that the plant has one. Brief strength, combination, bottle size, nozzle type and carton. Agree MOQ and lead time. Request stability data, sterility reports, batch certificates and copies of the manufacturing licence and GMP certificate. Your drug licence, GST number and trademark are needed for labels and invoicing.
