Pharmacology
Like other aminoglycosides, the bactericidal activity of Tobramycin is taken up into sensitive bacterial cells by an active transport process. Within the cell Tobramycin bind to the 30s, and to some extent to the 50s subunits of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis and generating errors in the transcription of the genetic code. The manner in which cell death is brought about is imperfectly understood, and other mechanisms may contribute, including effects on membrane permeability.
Dosage & Administration

- In mild to moderate infection, apply a small amount 2-3 times daily into the conjunctival sac(s).
