Product Overview
Uses
Tobramycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including eye infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other types of bacterial eye conditions.
Side Effect
Common side effects may include temporary stinging, burning, redness, itching, or irritation in the eyes. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor.
How to use
Wash your hands before using the eye drops. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above your eye and squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Close your eye gently and blink a few times to spread the medication.
How It works
Tobramycin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping to clear up the infection.
What if you forget to take?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
