Tobramycin

Is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Tobramycin is used to treat serious bacterial infections, including:

Infections of the lungs (pneumonia)

Infections of the urinary tract

Infections of the skin

Infections of the blood (bacteremia)

Infections of the abdomen

Infections of the central nervous system (meningitis)

Toim 80mg Injection (Tobramycin) works by killing bacteria that cause infection. It does this by binding to the ribosomes of bacteria, which are responsible for protein synthesis. This prevents the bacteria from producing the proteins they need to survive and grow.

Store tobramycin at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not freeze tobramycin.

The dosage of tobramycin will depend on the type of infection you have, your age, weight, and overall health. It is important to take tobramycin exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Tobramycin is usually given by injection into a vein (intravenously). It can also be given by injection into a muscle (intramuscularly) or by inhalation.

The duration of treatment will depend on the severity of your infection and your response to treatment.
