Tobrex Warnings

As Tobrex is a category B FDA pregnancy medicine, the effects of this drug on a growing fetus are not known. However, you should not take Tobrex if you are pregnant or if you are planning to be pregnant soon without your doctor’s consent. It has not been clearly established whether Tobrex’s ingredients are able to pass into the patient’s breast milk. Therefore, it is not known whether a treatment with this medicine could harm a nursing child or not. You should refrain from taking this drug if you are breastfeeding a child. Children and elderly patients are known to be more prone to developing this medicine’s side effects.

Tobrex Intake Guidelines

Wash you hands before using these eye drops. You should not allow the dropper to touch any surface (this includes hands and eyes) because the dropper is and should remain sterile (if it gets contaminated, it could cause eye infections). If you start suffering from an eye infection or if you suspect that the dropper is no longer sterile, you should alert your doctor. Before you use this drug for the first time, you should check if the Safety Strip on the bottle’s front has not been broken. Even if the bottle has not been opened, there should be a gap between the cap and the bottle. In order to break the bottle’s seal, you may tear the Safety Strip off.  If you are currently using another type of eye drops (other drugs) you should wait for at least 10 minutes before you apply another dose.  After you have taken all the doses that your doctor has prescribed you, you may find some extra medicine in the bottle. This is normal, but you should not remove this extra amount of Tobrex from the drug’s bottle.
