Tobaprex-F Eye Drops

Tobaprex-F Eye Drops from Ikon is a prescription combination that may support doctor-directed management of bacterial eye infections accompanied by redness, swelling, irritation, or itching. It contains tobramycin 0.3% w/v and fluorometholone 0.1% w/v. Tobramycin may help limit bacterial growth, while fluorometholone may help calm the eye's inflammatory response. Use it only in the dose and for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Use Tobaprex-F Eye Drops at the dose, times, and duration prescribed by your doctor. Wash your hands and tilt your head back. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, then instil the prescribed number of drops. Close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface. Use the drops at evenly spaced intervals and complete the prescribed course, even if your symptoms improve.
