How to remember Tobradex and antibiotic eye drops
Antibiotic eye drops often have a defined course. A clear schedule helps you avoid missed doses, extra doses and confusion with other bottles.
Antibiotic drops usually have a defined course
Drops such as Tobradex, or other antibiotic eye drops, are often prescribed for a specific situation and a specific length of time. The label on the bottle is not enough when you also have other drops.
Tobradex includes antibiotic and steroid components, so the frequency and duration should come from your clinician. Do not restart old drops, share a bottle, or extend the course on your own.
Write down the course before you start
- The exact drug name on the prescription
- How many times per day and for how many days
- Whether it should be spaced from other drops
If redness, pain, discharge, or vision changes get worse, contact your clinic instead of only adjusting reminders.
Using EyeDay for antibiotic drops
EyeDay can keep Tobradex or another antibiotic drop on its own schedule, with completed-dose records that are easy to check before the next dose.
If you need to track an antibiotic eye drop
