Contraindication Notes:
It is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to Tobramycin or any of the ingredients of the preparation.
Like other aminoglycosides, the bactericidal activity of Tobramycin is taken up into sensitive bacterial cells by an active transport process. Within the cell Tobramycin bind to the 30s, and to some extent to the 50s subunits of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis and generating errors in the transcription of the genetic code. The manner in which cell death is brought about is imperfectly understood, and other mechanisms may contribute, including effects on membrane permeability.
Care should be exercised when tobramycin is given to patients receiving other drugs with neuromauscular blocking agents or ototoxic.
The most frequent side effect of Tobramycin ophthalmic solution is localized ocular toxicity, conjunctival erythema, hypersensitivity including lid itching and swelling.
Sign and symptoms of overdose may be similar to side effects as described above.
Pregnancy Category B. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. This drug should only be used during pregnancy, if the potential benefits outweigh the possible risk to the fetus. Drug may excreted into human milk. A decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to taking the drug.
Minor sensitivity may occur to topically applied aminoglycosides in some patients. If a sensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue use. Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms and fungi.
