NEBRACIN Ophthalmic Solution 5ml
Tobramycin 0.3% Eye Drops
Tobracin is an aminoglycoside with strong antibiotic properties specially made to fight many eye bacterial infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye) and blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) and relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, and discharge. The Tobracin eye drops will put infection on hold so that redness, swelling, and pain will stop and disappear eventually.
Key Benefits
Fast Action: Stops the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria.
Enabled Relief: Brings down eye swelling, pain, and irritation.
Extensive Use: It is good for typical external structures of the eye.
How It Works
Tobramycin works by binding to the bacterial ribosomes, namely the 30S subunit, in a way that prevents the bacteria from creating the protein needed for their own living and multiplication. The bacterial colonies that could potentially grow will hide from being targeted by the body’s immune system, which enhances the immune system’s capabilities in eliminating the bacteria.
Directions for Use
Preparation: Wash the hands thoroughly prior to dosage.
Application: Tilt the head backward; gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket for the drops.
Instillation: Drop 1–2 drops in the affected eye as instructed.
Absorption: Shut and carefully press the lid, while avoiding release and drainage near the nose, for about 1–2 minutes from the eye.
Hygienics: Never touch the dropper to the eye and avoid touching the dropper to any surface. Save the dropper for dispensing your medicines in case it would be ever needed for another use; wash using care afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is Tobramycin a steroid?
No, Tobramycin consists of a pure antibiotic; however, it can be found in certain brands in combination with a steroid (such as Dexamethasone). It is most essential for every patient to assess his or her prescription to understand whether the drops are of “Tobramycin alone” or are combination drops.
Q: When does Tobramycin begin working?
Tobramycin should begin to alleviate the symptoms within 24–48 hours for almost all patients. Nevertheless, you will need to complete the full course of treatment prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection fails to make a return.
Q: Are these drops for a viral eye infection?
No. The likes of Tobramycin are only targeted at bacteria and are useless against viruses (for example, viral conjunctivitis) and fungi.
Q: What do I do if I lose a dose?
Immediately administer the missed dose. Skip that dose if your next administration is about due. There is no need to double the dosage.
Q: How do I store the bottle?
Store in an upright position in the tightly closed bottle, keeping it in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Children must never take it undetected and away from the direct rays of sun. Throw the bottle away four weeks after you first open it.
