About Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml

Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml 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. 

Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml 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) 

Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml is an external preparation and should be administered as advised by your doctor. Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises.

Uses of Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml

Bacterial conjuctivitis 

Medicinal Benefits

Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml 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. Toba DM Eye Drops 10 ml 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.
