Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop

Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription antibiotic eye medicine containing tobramycin 0.3% in each drop. Tobramycin belongs to the aminoglycoside antibiotic class and is used to treat certain bacterial eye infections, such as bacterial conjunctivitis and other susceptible eye surface infections. It is made for use in the eyes only, not for skin or by mouth. A doctor may prescribe Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop when the infection is likely caused by bacteria that respond to tobramycin.

How it works: Tobramycin works by entering bacterial cells and stopping them from making the proteins they need to grow and survive. When used as Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop, it delivers the antibiotic directly to the infected eye area to help clear susceptible bacteria.

This 0.3% Eyebrex eye drop is a standard prescription ophthalmic strength used when a clinician wants direct antibiotic action at the eye surface. Since there are no sibling strengths or forms listed for this brand, Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop should be understood as the brand's single eye-drop option, chosen based on the infection being treated and the patient's exam rather than for self-start use.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Eye surface infection caused by susceptible bacteria
• Red, infected eye with discharge
• Doctor-directed treatment after eye examination

• Wash your hands before using Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• After putting in the drop, close your eye gently for a minute or two; do not rub it.
• Remove contact lenses before use and follow your prescriber’s advice about when to put them back in.

Eyebrex 0.3% 5 mL Eye Drop provides tobramycin 0.3% in an ophthalmic solution, so the medicine is delivered directly to the infected eye. The exact dose and how often to use it vary by the severity of the infection; your doctor decides the schedule, and there is no universal maximum daily amount that fits every patient. Use it only for the duration prescribed, because this strength is meant for medical treatment of bacterial eye infections, not casual use.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
