Nebracin F Ophthalmic Suspension 5ml contains three active ingredients:

• Fluorometholone (0.1%): As a corticosteroid, fluorometholone works by curbing the production of certain substances in your body known as prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. This action helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching in your eyes.

• Tobramycin (0.3%): Tobramycin belongs to the class of aminoglycoside antibiotics. It obstructs bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis, which is crucial for their survival.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This compound acts as a preservative in the suspension. It disrupts bacterial cell membranes, which helps prevent contamination and ensures the effectiveness of the medicine over time.

• Store Nebracin F Ophthalmic Suspension 5ml upright in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and do not freeze the medicine.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.
