## What is Nataforce Eye Drop

Nataforce Eye Drop is a prescription medicine used to treat fungal eye infections. It contains 5% Natamycin, an antifungal medication that stops the growth of infection-causing fungi and relieves pain, redness, itching, or soreness caused by it.

## What are the benefits of Nataforce Eye Drop

Natamycin in Nataforce Eye Drops stops the growth of certain types of fungus. When applied to the eyes, it stops amino acid and glucose transport proteins from entering the fungus, leading to a loss of nutrient transport and eventual death.

This action helps relieve symptoms such as pain, redness, itching, or soreness caused by eye infections.
