Tobramycin

Is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of aerobic gramnegative bacteria.

Often used in combination with other antibiotics for synergistic effect.

Treatment of certain types of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intraabdominal infections, and septicemia.

Saptob Eye Oint 3gm (Tobramycin) inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to misreading of mRNA and ultimately preventing bacterial growth and replication.

Store at controlled room temperature (20-25°C/68-77°F). Protect from light and moisture. Discard any unused portion after the expiry date.

Dosage is determined by the severity of the infection, patient's renal function, and the specific formulation (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, or topical).

Always follow the prescription instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare professional.

Intravenous administration requires careful monitoring of blood levels to avoid toxicity.

Do not discontinue the medication prematurely, even if you feel better. Completing the full course of treatment is crucial to prevent recurrence of infection.
