Medical Overview
Tobrex is listed as Ophthalmic containing Tobramycin. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Tobrex (tobramycin) — ophthalmology’s workhorse antibiotic drop: potent gram-negative coverage with negligible systemic exposure (infant-safe under supervision). For purulent bacterial conjunctivitis, not watery viral or itchy allergic disease. Drop technique matters (one drop, punctal pressure, 5-10min between different drops); contact-lens holiday; 48-72h without improvement = eye clinic.
Uses / Indications
- Bacterial conjunctivitis
- Used for indications selected by a clinician or pharmacist based on diagnosis and the official leaflet.
Side Effects

Contraindications
