Medicinal Benefits:

Obivin D Eye Drop is a combination of two drugs: Tobramycin (antibiotics) and Dexamethasone (corticosteroids). Tobramycin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Dexamethasone blocks the chemical messenger in the brain responsible for causing inflammation (redness, itching, and swelling). As a result, it lowers inflammation, which could worsen the condition. Obivin D Eye Drop is used to prevent and treat inflammation and prevent possible bacterial infection of the eye after cataract surgery in adults and children above two years of age.

FAQs

What is the use of Obivin D Eye Drop?

Obivin D Eye Drop is used to treat bacterial eye and ear infections. It is used to treat eye infections such as conjunctivitis (infection of the outer white membrane of the eyeball) and corneal ulcers (ulcer that occurs in the transplant membrane of the eye called the cornea).

How does Obivin D Eye Drop work?

Obivin D Eye Drop contains tobramycin and dexamethasone. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It acts by inhibiting bacteria's growth. It binds to the proteins in the bacteria, disrupting the cell functions and eventually leading to bacterial death. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy.

Can I take Obivin D Eye Drop on my own?

Do not take Obivin D Eye Drop on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.

I am diabetic. Can I use Obivin D Eye Drop?

If you have diabetes, Obivin D Eye Drop can increase the risk of intraocular pressure (glaucoma) and cataract formation in diabetic patients. However, please consult your doctor before using Obivin D Eye Drop.

What should I do if I forget a dose?

If you miss a dose of Obivin D Eye Drop, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it's almost time for the next dose, do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

What happens if I use Obivin D Eye Drop for longer periods?

It is advised to use Obivin D Eye Drop only for the prescribed period as long-term usage of Obivin D Eye Drop may cause a new fungal eye infection (secondary infection). Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve, and defects in visual acuity and fields of vision. Intraocular pressure should be monitored if this product is used for ten days or longer.
