What is Tobramycin 13.6 mg/mL Ophthalmic Solution?
Tobramycin 13.6 mg/mL ophthalmic solution is a compounded sterile eye drop formulated for topical ophthalmic use.
Tobramycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in ophthalmology, particularly in the treatment of bacterial infections involving the cornea and ocular surface. Compounding allows for customized concentrations that may be used in more intensive treatment regimens, depending on the prescriber’s clinical approach.
What is the Mechanism of Action?
Tobramycin works by:
- Binding to bacterial ribosomes
- Inhibiting protein synthesis
- Causing bacterial cell death
This mechanism provides bactericidal activity, particularly against gram-negative organisms, including those commonly associated with ocular infections.
