Obrin Eye Drop

Obrin Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains tobramycin as the active ingredient in the labeled strength per drop. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in the eye to treat bacterial eye infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis and other susceptible external eye infections. It works only against bacteria, not viruses or allergies. Obrin Eye Drop is made by Senses Pharmaceuticals and comes in a strip/box of 10 eye drops.

How it works: Tobramycin blocks bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. When used as Obrin Eye Drop, it acts directly on the infected eye surface to help clear susceptible bacteria.

Because this is the as-labeled Obrin Eye Drop, it is the exact eye-drop strength intended for use in the eye rather than a different form or lower/higher sibling product. A doctor may choose this strength when a targeted antibiotic eye treatment is needed and may adjust how often it is used based on the severity of the infection and response. Since it is an eye drop, it can start working at the site of infection without needing to be swallowed.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• External bacterial eye infections
• Treatment of susceptible eye bacteria
• Antibiotic eye treatment as prescribed by a doctor

• Wash your hands before using Obrin Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after each drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Use it exactly as prescribed and finish the full course even if the eye looks better sooner.

Each drop of Obrin Eye Drop contains tobramycin in the labeled strength, and the exact dose used depends on the prescription directions. Eye-drop dosing is often several times per day at first, but the doctor decides the frequency and total duration based on the infection and your response. Do not use more often than prescribed, and do not change the schedule on your own.

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

Common side effects of Tobramycin may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging
• Eye irritation or redness
• Blurred vision right after putting in the drop
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Mild eye discomfort
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after use

• Use only in the eye, not in the ear or by mouth.
• Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Tell your doctor if you have had allergies to tobramycin or other aminoglycoside antibiotics.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of kidney problems or hearing problems, especially with repeated or prolonged antibiotic use.
• If symptoms worsen or do not improve, contact your doctor; this product is not for viral or allergic eye irritation.
• Avoid contaminating the dropper tip, because that can spread infection.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after dosing, so wait until your vision clears before driving.

• Other eye medicines placed in the same eye may affect how the drops work if used too close together.
• Using multiple topical eye antibiotics together may require a doctor’s guidance.
• Systemic aminoglycoside antibiotics may increase the risk of aminoglycoside-related side effects if used together.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription and nonprescription eye products you use before starting Obrin Eye Drop.

Store Obrin Eye Drop at room temperature and keep the bottle tightly closed, protected from contamination and excess heat or light.
