TOBA F DROPS 5 ML

How TOBA F DROPS 5 ML Works

• TOBA F DROPS 5 ML is a combination medication designed to treat bacterial eye infections, especially when inflammation is also present. It combines the power of Tobramycin, an antibiotic, and Fluorometholone, a corticosteroid, to tackle both the infection and the associated swelling and discomfort.
• Tobramycin works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce essential proteins. Bacteria need these proteins to grow and multiply. Tobramycin binds to the bacterial ribosome, the structure responsible for protein synthesis, effectively halting the production line. This action inhibits bacterial growth and eventually leads to the death of the bacteria, clearing the infection.
• Fluorometholone, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. When the eye is infected, the body's natural response is to send immune cells to the area, causing redness, swelling, itching, and pain. Fluorometholone suppresses this immune response by blocking the production of inflammatory substances. By reducing inflammation, it alleviates discomfort and helps prevent long-term damage to the eye.
• The combination of Tobramycin and Fluorometholone provides a two-pronged approach. Tobramycin eliminates the bacteria causing the infection, while Fluorometholone reduces the inflammation that makes the infection so uncomfortable and potentially harmful. This dual action helps to quickly relieve symptoms and promote healing.
• It's crucial to use TOBA F DROPS 5 ML exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The duration of treatment and the dosage will depend on the severity of the infection and your individual response to the medication. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. If your symptoms don't improve within a few days or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

Possible side effects of TOBA F eye drops may include: * Eye irritation or burning * Stinging sensation * Redness of the eye * Itching of the eye * Blurred vision * Tearing * Dry eye * Foreign body sensation * Swelling of the eyelids * Increased sensitivity to light * Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) * Headache * Changes in taste * Slow or delayed healing * Bacterial, fungal or viral infections of the eye * Increased intraocular pressure ( IOP) This is not an exhaustive list. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.

• If you miss a dose of TOBA F DROPS 5 ML, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep TOBA F DROPS 5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store TOBA F DROPS 5ML at room temperature.

• Wash your hands thoroughly before using TOBA F DROPS 5 ML to avoid contamination. Ensure the dropper tip doesn't touch any surface, including your eye, to prevent infection.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying TOBA F DROPS 5 ML and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. This helps prevent the medication from interacting with the lens material and ensures optimal absorption.
• Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket without blinking. Close your eye gently for 1-2 minutes to allow the medication to spread.
• Apply light pressure to the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) for about a minute after instilling the drops. This helps to prevent the medication from draining into your tear duct and increases its effectiveness.
• If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applying different drops. This prevents the first medication from being washed out by the second and allows each to work effectively. Administer TOBA F DROPS 5 ML as instructed by your doctor, usually 2-3 times daily. Don't stop using the medication, even if your symptoms improve, until the full course is completed, otherwise, infection can reoccur.
• Store TOBA F DROPS 5 ML at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children. Do not use the drops if they change color or become cloudy.
• Inform your doctor about all your medical conditions, allergies, and other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting TOBA F DROPS 5 ML. This will help them to avoid any potential interactions or side effects.
• Be aware of potential side effects such as temporary burning, stinging, or blurred vision. If these effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any severe side effects like eye pain, redness, or swelling, consult your doctor immediately.

• There are no known interactions between TOBA F eye drops and food. It is unlikely that food will affect how this medication works, as it is applied topically to the eye.
