TOBRA D DROPS 10ML

TOBRA D DROPS is a combination of one antibiotic and one corticosteroid 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), corneal ulcers (ulcer that occurs in the transplant membrane of the eye called the cornea), acute bacterial otitis media (an infection of the middle ear), and otitis externa (an infection in the ear canal). Eye infections are contagious and can pass from one to another. Signs and symptoms include pink or red-toned eyes, itching in areas of eyes, teary eyes, thick discharge around eyes/ears, ear discomfort, etc. 

TOBRA D DROPS is a combination medicine that contains Tobramycin and Dexamethasone. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic which inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with protein synthesis and leads to cell death. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid medicine that reduces swelling and redness by preventing infection-fighting white blood cells (WBCs). 

TOBRA D DROPS is an external preparation and should be administered as advised by your doctor. TOBRA D DROPS may cause certain common side effects, including (when used as eye drops) redness, itching, swelling, burning sensation, tearing, and temporary blurred vision (when used as ear drops), including ear pain and discomfort, discharge from ears, etc. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually subside over a time span. However, if the side effects persist for an extended period of time, consult your doctor. 

TOBRA D DROPS should be avoided if you are allergic to it, other aminoglycoside antibiotics or any other ingredients present in it. Inform your doctor if you are on any topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as TOBRA D DROPS combined with topical NSAIDs may cause your eye wound to heal more slowly. Avoid wearing contact lenses during the treatment of ocular infection or inflammation, as it can worsen the condition. Tell your doctor about all your current medications and medical history before using TOBRA D DROPS. Inform your doctor if you have any vision or hearing problems after using this medication. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. TOBRA D DROPS is not recommended for use in children below 2 years of age. 

TOBRA D DROPS is a combination medicine that contains 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. TOBRA D DROPS 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. 

• It is for external use only. If you are allergic to TOBRA D DROPS or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Consult your doctor before using TOBRA D DROPS if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. 
• TOBRA D DROPS is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. 
• You are advised to remove soft contact lenses before using TOBRA D DROPS as it contains a preservative that may cause eye irritation and discolouration of soft contact lenses. You can reinsert contact lenses after 15 minutes of using TOBRA D DROPS. 
• Do not use the topical non-steroidal inflammatory drug while using TOBRA D DROPS. TOBRA D DROPS contains dexamethasone; if you use a topical non-steroidal inflammatory drug and dexamethasone together, it may delay the healing of your eye wound. 
• If you have diabetes, please consult your doctor before using TOBRA D DROPS. The risk of intraocular pressure (glaucoma) and cataract formation is increased in diabetic patients. 
• TOBRA D DROPS may cause temporary vision problems (blurred vision), so be cautious while driving and operating machinery.
