• What

What is Tobradex?

Tobradex is a combination of two medications: dexamethasone and tobramycin. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid and will help reduce swelling, while tobramycin is an antibiotic used to kill bacteria. Together, they are used to treat bacterial eye infections.

• How

How do I take Tobradex?

Always wash your hands before using this medication. To apply the Tobradex solution, hold the eye dropper directly above your infected eye and carefully pull your lower lid to make a small pouch. Squeeze a drop into your eye without allowing the dropper to touch the eye or any other surface. Close your eye for one to two minutes, and hold one finger firmly to the corner of your eye by your nose to prevent the solution from leaking out. If your doctor has prescribed more than one drop per dosage, repeat. Only use as many eye drops as your doctor has instructed.
