Tobo Injection belongs to a class of drugs called aminoglycoside antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It reduces the infection by inhibiting bacterial growth. It irreversibly binds to a site on the bacterial ribosomes (ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis), inhibiting protein formation. Proteins are essential for bacterial growth. So, if bacteria cannot make proteins, it will eventually die.
