Tobazon Eye Drop

Tobazon Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, in the strength listed on the pack. Tobramycin eye drops are used to treat bacterial eye infections caused by susceptible germs. Tobazon Eye Drop is meant for eye use only and is not for viral or fungal eye problems. The Bell Pharma strip/box of 10 eye drops is designed for short-term treatment as directed by a doctor.

How it works: Tobramycin works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and spread. In Tobazon Eye Drop, this antibiotic is placed directly into the eye so it can act where the infection is happening.

This Tobazon Eye Drop is the as-labelled strength in eye drop form, so it is the exact dose your doctor may choose when an antibiotic eye treatment is needed. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the main difference is the eye-drop delivery itself: it works locally in the eye and usually starts soothing infection-related symptoms gradually rather than immediately.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection
• Eye redness with discharge caused by susceptible bacteria
• Doctor-directed treatment of external eye infection
• Local antibiotic treatment for the eye

• Wash your hands before using Tobazon 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 1-2 minutes after use; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5-10 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Use it only for the full course prescribed, even if you feel better sooner.

Tobazon Eye Drop provides tobramycin in the strength listed on the label with each drop, but the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription and the severity of the infection. Your doctor decides how often to use it; many antibiotic eye-drop regimens are started several times a day and then adjusted as the eye improves. Do not exceed the prescribed frequency or total daily use, because the correct schedule for this specific Tobazon Eye Drop strength should come from your prescriber.

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

Common side effects of Tobramycin may include:

• Mild eye burning or stinging after instilling the drop
• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye irritation or redness
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Mild eyelid discomfort
• Unpleasant taste in the mouth after use

• Use only if your doctor has confirmed or strongly suspects a bacterial eye infection.
• Do not use Tobazon Eye Drop for viral infections such as a cold sore-related eye issue or for fungal eye infections.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergy to tobramycin, gentamicin, neomycin, or other aminoglycoside antibiotics.
• Contact lenses should usually be avoided during an active eye infection unless your eye doctor says otherwise.
• If the eye looks worse after a few days, or symptoms do not improve as expected, seek medical advice.
• Use caution if you are using other eye drops or ointments, since spacing products helps the medicine work properly.
• Do not share Tobazon Eye Drop with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms.

• Other antibiotic eye drops or ointments may need spacing or dose changes.
• Other medicated eye products can affect how Tobazon Eye Drop works if used too close together.
• Systemic aminoglycoside antibiotics may increase the overall risk of aminoglycoside side effects when combined.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products used in or around the eyes.

Store Tobazon Eye Drop at room temperature in the original container, tightly closed, and keep it out of reach of children.
