About TOBAREN D EYE DROPS

TOBAREN D EYE DROPS is a combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids 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). This infection is highly contagious in nature and can pass from one to another. Signs and symptoms include pink/red-toned eyes, gritty feeling in eyes, itchiness in areas of eyes, teary eyes, and thick discharge around eyes. 

TOBAREN D EYE DROPS contains Tobramycin and Dexamethasone. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside 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) 

TOBAREN D EYE DROPS is an external preparation and should be administered as advised by your doctor. TOBAREN D EYE DROPS should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. You are advised to take TOBAREN D EYE DROPS for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. TOBAREN D EYE DROPS can cause some common side effects (when eye drops are used), including redness, itching, swelling, burning sensation, tearing, and temporary blurred vision (with ointment use). Most of these side effects of TOBAREN D EYE DROPS do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Long-term use of eye drops may cause a fungal eye infection. So, take this medicine for a duration prescribed by your doctor.

TOBAREN D EYE DROPS should be avoided if you are allergic to it, other aminoglycoside antibiotics or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are on any topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as TOBAREN D EYE 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 TOBAREN D EYE DROPS. Inform your doctor if you have any vision problems after using this medication. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. TOBAREN D EYE DROPS is not recommended for use in children below two years of age. 

Uses of TOBAREN D EYE DROPS

Treatment of Bacterial conjuctivitis

Medicinal Benefits

TOBAREN D EYE DROPS 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. TOBAREN D EYE 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. 

Directions for Use

Wash your hands thoroughly with water before and after use. Tilt your head and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small sac. Squeeze the prescribed amount of dose into the sac using the dropper. Close your eyes for about 2 to 3 minutes. Wipe any excess liquid with a tissue. Do not wipe or rinse the dropper tip after use. Place the dropper back on the bottle and tighten the cap.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

Drug Warnings

If you are allergic to TOBAREN D EYE DROPS or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Consult your doctor before taking TOBAREN D EYE DROPS if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. TOBAREN D EYE DROPS is not recommended for children unless prescribed by a doctor. Let your doctor know if you have had myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness) or Parkinson’s disease, antibiotics like tobramycin may worsen muscle weakness. You are advised to remove soft contact lenses before using TOBAREN D EYE 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 TOBAREN D EYE DROPS. Do not use the topical non-steroidal inflammatory drug while using TOBAREN D EYE DROPS. TOBAREN D EYE 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 TOBAREN D EYE DROPS. The risk of intraocular pressure (glaucoma) and cataract formation is increased in diabetic patients. TOBAREN D EYE DROPS may cause temporary vision problems (blurred vision), so be cautious while driving and operating machinery.
