About Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml

Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml is a combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids used to treat bacterial eye and ear infections. It is used to treat eye infections such as conjunctivitis (infection of the outer white membrane of the eyeball) and corneal ulcers (ulcer that occurs in the transplant membrane of the eye called the cornea). This infection is highly contagious in nature and can pass from one to another. Signs and symptoms include pink/red-toned eyes, gritty feeling in eyes, itchiness in areas of eyes, teary eyes, and thick discharge around eyes. 

Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml contains Tobramycin and Dexamethasone. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside which inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with protein synthesis and leads to cell death. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid medicine that reduces swelling and redness by preventing infection-fighting white blood cells (WBCs)

You are advised to take Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml can cause some common side effects (when eye drops are used), including redness, itching, swelling, burning sensation, tearing, and temporary blurred vision (with ointment use). Most of these side effects of Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Long-term use of eye drops may cause a fungal eye infection. So, take this medicine for a duration prescribed by your doctor.

Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml should be avoided if you are allergic to it, other aminoglycoside antibiotics or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are on any topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml combined with topical NSAIDs may cause your eye wound to heal more slowly. Avoid wearing contact lenses during the treatment of ocular infection or inflammation, as it can worsen the condition.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands thoroughly with water before and after use. Tilt your head and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small sac. Squeeze the prescribed amount of dose into the sac using the dropper. Close your eyes for about 2 to 3 minutes. Wipe any excess liquid with a tissue. Do not wipe or rinse the dropper tip after use. Place the dropper back on the bottle and tighten the cap.

Medicinal Benefits

Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml is a combination of two drugs: Tobramycin (antibiotics) and Dexamethasone (corticosteroids). Tobramycin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Dexamethasone blocks the chemical messenger in the brain responsible for causing inflammation (redness, itching, and swelling). As a result, it lowers inflammation, which could worsen the condition. Glotob-D Eye Drops 10ml is used to prevent and treat inflammation and prevent possible bacterial infection of the eye after cataract surgery in adults and children above two years of age.
