Appatoba D 0.3/0.1 % Eye Drops 5 ML is applied topically.

Appatoba D 0.3/0.1 % Eye Drops 5 ML is composed of two active ingredients that work in different ways to manage eye infections:

• Dexamethasone (0.1%): This is a potent corticosteroid. It works by reducing the production of substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes that cause inflammation. This helps to decrease symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and pain in the infected eye.

• Tobramycin (0.3%): This is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works by binding to bacterial ribosomes and interfering with protein synthesis, a process essential for bacterial survival and multiplication. Tobramycin is effective against a wide range of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria commonly involved in eye infections.
