Product Description

A valid prescription must be presented upon receipt of the order.

What is Tobramycin/Dexamethasone used for:

This product is used to prevent bacterial infection and to prevent/treat inflammation after cataract surgery in the eye in adults and children over 2 years of age.

Do not use tobramycin/dexamethasone:

If you are allergic to tobramycin, dexamethasone, or any of the ingredients in this medicine. Tell your doctor about your allergies and signs.

If you have or think you may have an eye infection. Using corticosteroids on the affected eyes may worsen the infection.

If you suffer from sticky discharge from your eye.

If you have a red eye that has not been checked by your doctor.

Warnings and precautions:

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you experience an allergic reaction such as shortness of breath, rash, swelling of the face or neck. Your doctor should start the appropriate treatment if this occurs.

Talk to your doctor before starting tobramycin/dexamethasone if you wear soft contact lenses.

This medicine is intended for topical use in the eye only and should not be used for injection into the eye.

You may feel allergic to this medicine. If this happens, stop using it.

Prolonged use of this medicine may cause an overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. In the case of additional infection, your doctor should start the appropriate treatment. Prolonged use may also increase intraocular pressure and/or cataracts.

Cross sensitivity to other aminoglycoside antibiotics may occur (you have had a hypersensitivity reaction to other aminoglycoside antibiotics if you have had similar reactions to an aminoglycoside antibiotic).

Do not wear contact lenses if you have signs and symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis (such as eye discharge, redness, swelling, or itching of the eyes).

Talk to your doctor if your eye condition gets worse or if you experience new symptoms. You may become more likely to get an infection when using this medicine.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medication if you have a problem that may cause eye tissue to thin (such as rheumatoid arthritis, Fuchs" dystrophy, or after a corneal transplant). Corticosteroid use may increase the risk of eye tissue thinning, which can lead to perforation and may also delay the healing of your eye wound.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medication if you are using topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are used to reduce inflammation and pain. Concomitant use of topical NSAIDs with dexamethasone may slow or delay healing.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have diabetes (high blood glucose levels) as the risk of increased intraocular pressure caused by a corticosteroid may be higher if you have diabetes.

Talk to your doctor if you have blurred vision or other visual problems.

Talk to your doctor if you are using other antibiotics, including oral antibiotics. Talk to your doctor if you have or have previously had medical problems that may cause muscle weakness, such as myasthenia gravis or Parkinson"s disease, as use of this type of antibiotic may worsen muscle weakness.

Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms of Cushing"s syndrome, a syndrome characterized by swelling and weight gain around your torso and face.

You may experience suppression of the function of the adrenal gland (a gland in the kidneys) after stopping long-term or intensive treatment with this medicine. Do not stop taking this medication without talking to your doctor first. The risk of developing adrenal suppression is higher in children and in patients treated with medicines known as ritonavir or cobicistat.

Talk to your doctor if you have signs and symptoms of adrenal suppression such as tiredness, muscle weakness, dizziness when standing, difficulty standing, weight loss, fever, anxiety, vomiting, nausea, headache, diarrhea, sweating, mood or personality changes, joint pain or muscle;

Your doctor should monitor your eye pressure more frequently (especially in children under 6 years old).

The safety and efficacy of this medicine in children less than 2 years of age has not been established, and therefore it is not recommended in this group of patients.

This product contains a preservative known as benzalkonium chloride which can affect the color of your soft contact lenses and may also cause eye irritation especially if you have corneal problems or dry eyes, so be sure to remove your soft contact lens before putting in eye drops and wait 15 minutes on least before putting back contact lenses.
