Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Tobradex is a combination medication containing Tobramycin and Dexamethasone. Tobramycin, an antibiotic, fights bacterial infections in the eye, while dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation. This medication comes as eye drops or an ointment. It is intended for topical ophthalmic use to help assist in preventing permanent damage caused by certain eye problems.
Tobradex is a medication that is applied directly to the eyes. The usual dosage of the Tobradex ophthalmic suspension is one or two drops in the affected eye every four to six hours. Before using the suspension, it’s important to shake it well.
When using the Tobradex eye ointment, a small ribbon about half an inch long should be applied to the affected eye, typically three to four times a day. It’s important to follow a doctor’s instructions carefully. To avoid contamination, do not touch the tip of the dropper or tube to any surface. In addition, contact lenses should not be worn while applying Tobradex.
The active ingredients in Tobradex are Tobramycin and Dexamethasone.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Tobradex may cause mild side effects, such as eye redness, itching, or swelling of the eyelids. Some people experience localized irritation like conjunctival redness or discomfort. These reactions, often linked to the Tobramycin ingredient, are generally temporary and occur in less than 4% of patients. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.
Tobradex can cause serious side effects, including increased eye pressure, which may lead to glaucoma or optic nerve damage. Long-term use may result in cataract formation or delayed wound healing. Secondary infections, including fungal or bacterial infections, can develop with extended use. Rarely, systemic effects like adrenal suppression or Cushing’s syndrome may occur with excessive dexamethasone use. Stop using Tobradex and seek immediate medical attention if you notice symptoms such as severe eye pain, vision changes, or unusual swelling.
