About Toba: Toba Eye Drops (Tobramycin) is an eye solution medication. It is indicated for patients suffering from bacterial infections that affect the eye not only in treatment but also in prevention of such infections. This medicine has the properties of an antibiotic and is not effective in infections that have not been caused by bacteria. Toba eye drops works by inhibition of bacteria from their normal functions, and this controls their growth and reproduction. It also has corticosteroids properties, and these are important in helping manage eye swellings that are a result of eye infections.
How to use Toba

This medicine is for direct application to the eye and should not be ingested or used in any other way. Your doctor will provide you with a unique dosage.
