AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
TOBRADEX is a fixed-dose combination of tobramycin (aminoglycoside antibiotic) and dexamethasone (corticosteroid) delivered as an ophthalmic ointment. It treats bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, and blepharokeratoconjunctivitis by suppressing inflammation while providing antimicrobial coverage against susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The corticosteroid inhibits inflammatory mediators via glucocorticoid receptor activation, while tobramycin provides broad-spectrum bacterial control.
