gatifloxacin is still available and frequently presecribed in some developing countries. because still FDA has not announced any ban on this molecule and Kyorin has not announced its fate. Gatifloxacin is still available in India in 3-4 dosage forms. Ophthalmic Drops are Launched by Allergan Pharma. its raw material is freely availble on different websites.
