Saptop Ophthalmic Gel belongs to the class of aminoglycoside antibiotics. It is used for the treatment of bacterial eye infections. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any eye part, such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea.
Saptop Ophthalmic Gel contains tobramycin, an antibiotic that works by killing the infection-causing bacteria. Thus Saptop Ophthalmic Gel treats bacterial eye infections.
Use Saptop Ophthalmic Gel as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Saptop Ophthalmic Gel are eye irritation, feeling of having something in the eye, swollen/itchy eyelids, eye redness, increased tearing and inflammation of the cornea (clear front portion of your eye).
