Description:

Tobron Eye Drop is an antibiotic medicine that is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye (e.g., conjunctivitis), eyelids (e.g., blepharitis), and ear. It may also help to prevent an infection after an eye injury or surgery.

Tobron Eye Drop stops the growth of bacteria and thereby helps to cure the underlying infection. Follow your doctor's instructions precisely for administering this medicine. Wait for at least 5 minutes before applying any other eye medication. It should be used regularly at evenly spaced time intervals as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.
