Benzalkonium Chloride + Fluorometholone + Tobramycin

Uses of Benzalkonium Chloride + Fluorometholone + Tobramycin

  • The primary use of Benzalkonium Chloride + Fluorometholone + Tobramycin is to manage bacterial eye infections and related inflammation. This combination belongs to the class of antimicrobial, corticosteroid, and aminoglycoside medications.

  • This medication is also indicated for managing inflammations of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior eye segment, as well as corticosteroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions.

Side effects of Benzalkonium Chloride + Fluorometholone + Tobramycin

  • Eye irritation

  • Stinging in the eyes

  • Elevated intraocular pressure

  • Glaucoma

  • Cataracts

How Benzalkonium Chloride + Fluorometholone + Tobramycin works

  • Benzalkonium Chloride acts as an antimicrobial agent. Being a quaternary ammonium compound, it disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria, causing leakage of their contents and ultimately, their death.

  • Fluorometholone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the eyes. It achieves this by inhibiting actions such as swelling (edema), formation of fibrous tissue (fibrin deposition), widening of blood vessels (capillary dilation), and migration of immune cells (phagocytic migration).

  • Tobramycin is an antibiotic belonging to the aminoglycoside group. It stops bacterial growth by sticking to a part of the bacteria called the 30S ribosomal subunit, disrupting protein formation. This method specifically works against many types of gram-negative bacteria.
