What is Tobrex?

Tobrex (tobramycin ophthalmic ointment) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Novartis. It is a sterile topical ophthalmic aminoglycoside antibiotic eye ointment used to treat external bacterial eye infections of the eye. These include blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis, keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis, and acute meibomianitis.

What doses of Tobrex are available?

Tobrex is available in ophthalmic solution form, in the following doses: 3mg in 1mL.

Tobrex eye drops are given as 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye every 4 hours. For more severe infections, you may use 2 drops every hour initially before reducing the dose and number of drops per day.

To apply the eye drops, tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid. Hold the dropper tip above the eye and squeeze out a drop. Do not allow the dropper tip to come into direct contact with your eye. This can potentially infect your eye, and lead to serious vision problems.

If you normally wear contact lenses do not use this medicine while wearing them. Tobrex contains a preservative, benzalkonium chloride, that can discolor soft contact lenses. Wait 15 minutes before putting in your contact lenses after using this medicine.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
