Overview Tobrine Eye Ointment

This antibiotic ophthalmic ointment, Tobrine, treats bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis, and helps prevent post-surgical or post-injury infections. Its antibacterial action combats the infection. Strictly adhere to your physician's instructions for application. Allow at least five minutes before using other eye medications. Apply consistently at prescribed intervals; complete the entire course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent relapse. Tobrine is ineffective against non-bacterial (viral, for example) infections and should only be used under medical supervision. Overuse of antibiotics reduces their future efficacy. Mild, temporary side effects such as burning, itching, redness, and irritation may occur. Persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention. Expect brief visual blurring initially; avoid driving immediately after application. Refrain from wearing contact lenses during treatment and while the infection persists.
