A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) with potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Treatment of bacterial infections susceptible to gatifloxacin, often in conjunction with inflammation.
Management of moderate to severe pain associated with infection, particularly in ophthalmic or postsurgical scenarios.
Gatifloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, leading to bacterial cell death. Ketorolac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain.

The specific dosage will vary depending on the infection being treated and the patient's overall health.
