How Tobradex Products work
Dexamethasone + Tobramycin is a combination of two medicines: Dexamethasone + Tobramycin1 and Dexamethasone + Tobramycin2. Dexamethasone + Tobramycin1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Dexamethasone + Tobramycin2 is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
