Yes. Tobradex is a prescription eye medication used for eye infections that involve both bacteria and inflammation. It contains two active ingredients: tobramycin (an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections) and dexamethasone (a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation). [1]
Tobradex is intended for bacterial eye infections where inflammation also needs treatment, because it combines an antibiotic with an anti-inflammatory steroid. [1]
Because it includes a corticosteroid, Tobradex is not appropriate for all causes of “pink eye” or eye symptoms. Viral eye infections and some other non-bacterial conditions require different treatment. Using a steroid when it’s not indicated can worsen certain infections. [1]
If symptoms don’t improve or they worsen after starting Tobradex, patients should contact their prescriber promptly. Eye infections can progress, and steroid-containing eye drops need appropriate monitoring. [1]
