Can Tobramycin Dexamethasone Eye Ointment Be Used?

Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment is generally applicable and should be used under the guidance of a physician.

Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment contains the antibiotic tobramycin and the corticosteroid dexamethasone, and is indicated for ocular diseases caused by bacterial infections, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. When a patient is diagnosed with an infectious eye disease caused by susceptible bacteria, using this ointment under a doctor's guidance can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammatory responses. Additionally, following eye surgery, to prevent infection or reduce postoperative inflammation, physicians may recommend using tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment.

However, it should be noted that patients who are allergic to components of the ointment such as tobramycin or dexamethasone should not use it to avoid triggering severe allergic reactions. Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment should be used strictly according to the physician's instructions; do not adjust the dosage or frequency of application by yourself. Before applying the ointment, wash your hands thoroughly and avoid letting the ointment come into contact with areas other than the eyes. After application, tightly close the cap of the ointment tube to prevent contamination.

In daily life, it is recommended to monitor ocular reactions, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the eyes, and avoid infections.
