Tobramycin eye drops are a type of antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial eye infections. Here’s some information about Tobramycin eye drops:

Active Ingredient: Tobramycin is the active ingredient in Tobramycin eye drops. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics.

Mechanism of Action: Tobramycin works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria. It does this by binding to the bacterial ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis in bacteria. By interfering with protein synthesis, Tobramycin disrupts bacterial cell function and ultimately leads to bacterial cell death.

Indications: Tobramycin eye drops are indicated for the treatment of external ocular infections caused by susceptible bacteria. These infections may include bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other superficial eye infections.
