The efficacy of corticosteroids in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the eye is well established.
Tobramycin 3 mg/ml + Dexamethasone 1 mg/ml
TOBRAMENS PLUS eye drops is a combined medicine that contains the corticosteroid dexamethasone and the antibiotic tobramycin, which is active against a number of microorganisms that infect the eye. It is used in adults and children aged 2 years and more for the prophylaxis and treatment of inflammation and for the prevention of infection after cataract (curtain-like vision) surgery.
1. Before using the vial for the first time, make sure that the protective strip between the cap and the vial is not broken. Shake the vial vigorously. Wash your hands and unscrew the cap.
2. Tilt your head backwards and pull the lower eyelid down. This forms a “pocket” between the eyelid and the eye. The drop will go right here.
3. Keep the vial pointed downwards. Move the tip close to the eye. Use a mirror if it helps.
4. Do not touch your eye, eyelids or other surfaces with the tip of the vial. Press gently on the base of the bottle to release one drop of TOBRAMENS PLUS. Only light pressure on the bottom is required.
5. After instilling TOBRAMENS PLUS, close the lid and press the eye with a finger into the corner near the nose. This will help to stop TOBRAMENS PLUS from passing into the nose or running out.
6. If you have to use drops for both eyes, repeat the steps for the other eye.
If a drop misses your eye, try again.
Use this TOBRAMENS PLUS vial for your eyes only.
