Hi there,
Zymar is Gatifloxacin, an antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis . Zymar eye ointment is available in a tube of 5 gm.You may apply half inch ribbon three times a day on the first two days. For the next five days apply half inch ribbon may be applied two times a day. The dosage and frequency may vary based on the cause. Consult your doctor before applying it for confirming the correct dosage. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and take care!
