Tobroptho L Eye Drops

Description

Therapy/Class: Antibiotic + Corticosteroid

Mechanism of Action:

Loteprednol Etabonate: A retrometabolic, ester-based ‘soft’ corticosteroid structurally designed to provide potent localized immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects, followed by predictable, rapid de-esterification into inactive carboxylic acid metabolites. This mechanism dramatically mitigates the propensity for steroid-induced intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation.

Tobramycin: A water-soluble aminoglycoside that irreversibly binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inducing mRNA misreading. It exhibits excellent bactericidal activity, specifically functioning as a critical clinical tool against severe Gram-negative bacilli keratitis and conjunctivitis.

Indications

Treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms

Superficial ocular bacterial infections as advised by the treating ophthalmologist

Instill 1 drop into the inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac of the affected eye(s) as prescribed by the physician. Dosing frequency should be adjusted according to clinical response and severity.
