It is essential to follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor. Do not save or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of medications through the drain or in the trash. |

Use in children and adolescents
The recommended dose for adults and children over 1 year is one drop instilled in the affected eye or eyes three to eight times a day. In the case of a more serious infection, one drop may be applied to the affected eye or eyes until improvement is noted. Then, gradually reduce the dose.
Treatment duration: 5 to 15 days.
No dose adjustment is necessary for children over 1 year of age or elderly patients.
Usage instructions:
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
- Gently pull the lower eyelid down with one hand.
- Hold the bottle upside down with the other hand over the eye.
- Press the bottle gently to apply one drop to the eye.
- Avoid touching the eye (or any other surface) with the tip of the bottle.
- Close the eye for three minutes or press the tip of your finger against the inner corner of the closed eye for one or two minutes. This will prevent the drops from flowing through the tear ducts into the nose and will allow a greater amount of Tobrabact to remain in the eye to treat the infection, while also reducing the risk of adverse effects in general.
- Repeat the procedure in the other eye if necessary.
- Replace the cap and tighten it immediately after each use.
