Tobracin-D

Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Suspension

This ophthalmic suspension is a combination of the antibiotic tobramycin and the corticosteroid dexamethasone. It is designed to treat inflammatory eye conditions that are responsive to steroids, where there is a risk of bacterial infection or an existing superficial bacterial infection.

Key Features:

• Tobramycin: An antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Dexamethasone: A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and edema.
• Preservative: Benzalkonium chloride to prevent contamination.
• Indications: Suitable for treating conditions like conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, and corneal injuries from chemical, radiation, or thermal burns.
• Concentration: Each milliliter contains 0.3% tobramycin (3 mg) and 0.1% dexamethasone (1 mg).

This combination is particularly useful in situations where the risk of bacterial infection is high or when there is an expectation of potentially dangerous bacterial presence in the eye. It helps in managing both the infection and the inflammation effectively, making it a valuable treatment option for various ocular conditions.
