Obra Eye Drops

Obra Eye Drops contain Tobramycin (0.3% w/v), an antibiotic that helps treat bacterial eye infections. This medication is specifically formulated for treating conditions like conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and other bacterial infections in the eye. It works by preventing the growth of bacteria, providing fast relief from symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discharge. Obra Eye Drops are effective for both short-term and long-term treatment under a doctor's guidance.

Uses of Obra Eye Drops

Obra Eye Drops are commonly prescribed to treat the following conditions:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye).
• Bacterial infections of the cornea or other parts of the eye.
• Infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including staphylococci and streptococci.
• Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids due to bacterial infection).

How Obra Eye Drops Work

Obra Eye Drops contain Tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to bacterial ribosomes and prevents them from making proteins that are essential for their survival and multiplication. This leads to the elimination of the bacterial infection in the eye, helping to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
