Tobacin 5 ml is a prescription-based eye and ear drop used to treat bacterial infections of the eyes and ears. It contains Tobramycin 0.3% w/v, an FDA-approved aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is manufactured by Aristo Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. in a GMP-certified facility.
Tobramycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against many gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It works by blocking the synthesis of essential bacterial proteins, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth and helping clear the infection. Due to its topical application, Tobacin acts locally at the site of infection rather than elsewhere in the body.
Tobacin 5 ml eye drops are commonly prescribed for Bacterial Conjunctivitis, corneal infections, and infection-related eye redness. It may also be used to prevent infection after a minor eye injury under medical supervision. An ophthalmologist will determine the dosage and duration based on the severity of the infection and your age.
Use Tobacin antibiotic eye drops exactly as advised. If a dose is missed, use it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next dose, skip it and never use extra drops to compensate. Some people may experience mild burning, itching or watering of eyes after application. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen, vision changes occur, or signs of allergy develop.
Do not use the Tobacin 5 ml eye/ear drops without consulting your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Store below 25°C and use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle. Discard any remaining solution afterward.
