Disease Explanation

Eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (commonly known as pink eye) and styes, can lead to symptoms like redness, itching, swelling, discharge, pain, or vision issues. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a good visual outcome. While conjunctivitis is often not vision-threatening, infections affecting the cornea or inner eye require immediate referral to an ophthalmologist for proper care.

FAQ's on Tobrex 2X Eye Drop

Does Tobrex have a steroid in it?

No, Tobrex alone does not have steroid in it. It is an antibiotic, which means that it is effective against bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral or fungal infections and hence should not be used in these kind of infections. Tobrex may be combined with a steroid like dexamethasone.

How should Tobrex be used?

You should wash your hands before using the eye drops. Avoid touching the dropper tip against your eye or anywhere else. Tilt your head slightly and instil one drop. Close your eyes for 2 or 3 minutes with your head tipped down, avoid blinking or squinting. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct. If you use more than one drop, wait about 5 minutes between the drops. Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops your doctor has prescribed.

How long should you use Tobrex?

The doctor will decide the duration of treatment which will depend on the severity of infection. For instance, if you have mild to moderate eye infection, your doctor will advise 1-2 eye drops, 4 times a day, usually. In severe infections you may be prescribed 2 drops every hour. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor. You should use it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

What bacteria does Tobrex kill?

Tobrex is effective against a wide range of bacteria. It is important that Tobrex should be used only against susceptible bacteria. A whole gamut of bacteria which can be killed by Tobrex include S. Aureus and S. epidermidis, some species of Streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, most Proteus vulgaris strains, Haemophilus influenzae and H. aegyptius, Moraxella lacunata, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, and some Neisseria species.
