Warnings:

Warnings: for topical ophthalmic use only. not for injection into the eye. sensitivity to topically applied aminoglycosides may occur in some patients. if a sensitivity reaction to tobramycin ophthalmic solution usp, 0.3% occurs, discontinue use.

General Precautions:

General: as with other antibiotic preparations, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. if superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be initiated. cross-sensitivity to other aminoglycoside antibiotics may occur; if hypersensitivity develops with this product, discontinue use and institute appropriate therapy. patients should be advised not to wear contact lenses if they have signs and symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis. information for patients: do not touch dropper tip to any surface, as this may contaminate the solution. pregnancy category b: reproduction studies in three types of animals at doses up to thirty-three times the normal human systemic dose have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to tobramycin. there are, however, no adequate and wellcontrolled studies in pregnant women. because animal studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only i Read more...

f clearly needed. nursing mothers: because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants from tobramycin, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing the infant or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. pediatric use: safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of two months has not been established. geriatric use: no overall clinical differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between the elderly and other adult patients.

Dosage and Administration:

Dosage and administration: in mild to moderate disease, instill one or two drops into the affected eye(s) every four hours. in severe infections, instill two drops into the eye(s) hourly until improvement, following which treatment should be reduced prior to discontinuation.

Use in Pregnancy:

Pregnancy category b: reproduction studies in three types of animals at doses up to thirty-three times the normal human systemic dose have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to tobramycin. there are, however, no adequate and wellcontrolled studies in pregnant women. because animal studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Pediatric Use:

Pediatric use: safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of two months has not been established.

Geriatric Use:

Geriatric use: no overall clinical differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between the elderly and other adult patients.

Clinical Pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacology: in vitro data: in vitro studies have demonstrated tobramycin is active against susceptible strains of the following microorganisms: staphylococci, including s. aureus and s. epidermidis (coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative), including penicillin-resistant strains. streptococci, including some of the group a betahemolytic species, some nonhemolytic species, and some streptococcus pneumoniae . pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter aerogenes, proteus mirabilis, morganella morganii, most proteus vulgaris strains, haemophilus influenzae and h. aegyptius, moraxella lacunata, acinetobacter calcoaceticus and some neisseria species. bacterial susceptibility studies demonstrate that in some cases, microorganisms resistant to gentamicin retain susceptibility to tobramycin.
