Tobramycin is available as a topical ophthalmic solution and an ointment (see Table 11-5). Tobramycin is also prepared as a topical fortified solution for the treatment of corneal ulcers and is used in place of fortified gentamicin using the same dosage schedule (see Table 11-1). [Pg.189]

Small corneal abrasions typically heal quickly (24 to 36 hours). Topical prophylactic antibiotic therapy protects the disrnpted corneal epithelium from secondary infection as the tissne heals. Broad-spectrum ophthalmic antibiotic drops, snch as 0.3% tobramycin or 0.5% moxi-floxacin, may be instilled four times daily, along with a broad-spectrnm antibiotic ointment such as 0.3% tobramycin or 0.3% ciprofloxacin instilled at bedtime. Prophylactic topical antibiotic therapy can be discontin-ned once the corneal epithelium has healed. [Pg.496]

After anterior stromal puncture, PTK, or superficial keratectomy, broad-spectrum topical prophylactic ophthalmic antibiotic drops such as 0.3% tobramycin, 0.3% ciprofloxacin, or one of the newer generation fluoroquinolones, moxifloxacin or gatifloxacin, should be instilled three to four times daily, along with a broad-spectrum antibiotic ointment such as 0.3% tobramycin or 0.3% ciprofloxacin instilled into the conjunctival sac at bedtime. NSAIDs such as diclofenac sodium 0.1% solution... [Pg.507]

Treatment of microbial keratitis is started immediately irrespective of whether microbiologic evaluation has been performed. The best antimicrobial agent or agents to use initially is debated in the ophthalmic literature. The two main choices for initial antibiotic treatment are the combination of two fortified antibiotics, such as cefazolin and tobramycin, or monotherapy with topical fluoroquinolones. Just as with the decision to culture, the choice of antibiotic is often influenced by history and clinical presentation. Milder presentations, in low-risk... [Pg.523]

Compared with the otic antimicrobial preparations, ophthalmic antimicrobial preparations offer the physician a broader range of antibiotics to treat the difficult ear infection. Gentamicin, tobramycin, and sulfonamides are the most common antibiotics used. [Pg.2481]

Tobramycin is structurally related to kanamycin and has four times the activity of gentamicin against Pseudomonas spp. It is an extremely expensive drug. Its use in animals is usually limited to the topical treatment of melting comeal ulcers caused by gentamicin-resistant Pseudomonas spp. using the ophthalmic solution approved for use in humans.

The antimicrobial activity, pharmacokinetic properties, and toxicity profile of tobramycin (nebcin) are very similar to those of gentamicin. Dosages and serum concentrations are identical with those for gentamicin. Tobramycin (tobrex) also is available in ophthalmic ointments and solutions. [Pg.759]
