Tobastar F Eye Drops 5ml

Tobastar-F Eye Drops are used for the following:

• Managing bacterial eye infections: These drops are effective in fighting off bacteria that cause infections in the eyes.

• Reducing inflammation caused by bacterial infections: The medication decreases swelling and redness in the eyes associated with bacterial infections.

• Relieving symptoms of conjunctivitis (pink eye): It helps to reduce redness, itching, and irritation in the eyes caused by this condition.

Here's how you should use Tobastar-F Eye Drops:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before using this medicine.

• If irritation persists or increases, discontinue the use and consult your doctor.

• Do not touch the nozzle tip to any surface since this may contaminate the solution.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice about using this medicine.

Tobastar-F Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Tobastar-F Eye Drops contain three active ingredients:

• Tobramycin (0.3%): This ingredient is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that stops bacterial growth. It achieves this by inhibiting protein synthesis which bacteria need for multiplication and survival.

• Fluorometholone (0.1%): As a corticosteroid, fluorometholone reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of substances that cause redness, swelling, and itching. This helps relieve symptoms while the antibiotic fights the underlying infection.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02%): Used as a preservative in this medicine, it has antimicrobial properties which further aid in combating bacterial activity.

By working together synergistically, tobramycin and fluorometholone help manage bacterial eye infections and associated inflammation effectively.

• Keep Tobastar-F Eye Drops at a steady room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Choose a dry place away from direct sunlight for storage.

• Make sure the medicine is always out of reach of children.

• Use within one month after opening the container.

• If you suffer from bacterial eye infections, maintaining good eye hygiene can help manage your condition. This includes regular washing of hands, avoiding touching your eyes with unclean hands, and changing towels and bed linens frequently.

• Consuming a diet rich in vitamins A and C can help to maintain eye health. Include foods like carrots, spinach, oranges, and bell peppers in your meals.
