About Tobaflam Eye Drops 5 ml

Tobaflam Eye Drops 5 ml is an ophthalmic (for eye use) medication, primarily used to treat and prevent bacterial eye infections. It is effectively used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, severe acne, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids).

Tobaflam Eye Drops 5 ml contains two medicines, namely: Tobramycin (antibiotic) and Loteprednol (corticosteroid). Tobramycin belongs to a class of drugs called aminoglycoside antibiotics. It inhibits bacteria growth by interfering with protein synthesis. It binds to the bacteria's proteins, disrupting the cell membrane, and eventually leading to cell death. Loteprednol belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take Tobaflam Eye Drops 5 ml based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of Tobaflam Eye Drops 5 ml include blurred vision, burning/stinging sensation in the eye, and eye discomfort. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
