Tobradex Eye Drops – 5ml

Description

Key Ingredients & How They Work

• Tobramycin (0.3%)

A powerful aminoglycoside antibiotic that halts bacterial growth on the eye surface.

• Dexamethasone (0.1%)

A corticosteroid that rapidly reduces redness, swelling, and discomfort from inflammation.

Dual-action: eradicates bacteria while calming inflamed tissues for faster, clearer comfort.

Why Choose Tobradex Over Plain Antibiotic Drops?

Tobradex’s unique antibiotic + steroid combo:

• Speeds comfort by reducing swelling and pain.
• Cuts redness so vision clears sooner.
• Protects post-surgery, ideal for cataract or LASIK aftercare.

Indications & Benefits

• Treats bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharitis, styes, and other superficial infections
• Prevents infection and controls inflammation after eye surgery
• Pediatric use (≥ 2 years) at same adult dosage for consistency and safety

How to Use Tobradex Eye Drops?

• Wash hands thoroughly, avoid contaminating the dropper.
• Shake gently, ensure the suspension mixes evenly.
• Tilt head back, pull down lower lid, hold dropper ~1 cm above eye.
• Instill one drop, close eye, press inner corner for 60 sec to block tear drainage.
• Wait 5 minutes before any other eye medication.
• Use at consistent times daily to maintain effective levels.
• Complete full course, even if symptoms clear, early stopping risks relapse.

Side Effects & When to Seek Help

• Common (mild): brief stinging, itching, or transient redness
• Moderate: persistent eye pain, blurry vision, or increased swelling—contact your doctor
• Serious (rare): signs of steroid-induced glaucoma (eye pressure), cataracts, or secondary infections

Emergency: rash, facial swelling, breathing difficulty—stop use and seek immediate care.

Important Precautions

• Allergies: disclose any aminoglycoside or steroid sensitivities.
• Glaucoma risk: more than 10 days’ use requires pressure checks.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Driving & Machinery: wait until vision clears before operating vehicles or equipment.

Storage & Handling

• Store upright at 15–25 °C in a dry place away from light.
• Tighten cap after each use; discard any unused after completing your prescribed course.
• Keep out of reach of children and do not share your drops.

Alternative Options

Note:

• Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely—do not adjust dosage on your own.
• Report any worsening symptoms or new side effects promptly.
