Lubricure Eye Drops

Lubricure Eye Drops

Lubricure Eye Drops are a combination ophthalmic formulation containing Tobramycin and Dexamethasone. The formulation combines an aminoglycoside antibiotic with a corticosteroid to provide antibacterial activity along with control of inflammation in selected ocular conditions.

Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that acts against susceptible bacteria responsible for superficial ocular infections. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that helps suppress inflammatory responses and reduce symptoms associated with ocular inflammation.

The combination may be prescribed when an inflammatory eye condition is responsive to corticosteroid therapy and superficial bacterial infection is present or there is a significant risk of bacterial infection.

Composition

Tobramycin Sulphate equivalent to Tobramycin 0.3% w/v

Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate equivalent to Dexamethasone 0.1% w/v

Uses of Lubricure Eye Drops

Lubricure Eye Drops may be prescribed for selected steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye where superficial bacterial infection is present or there is a risk of bacterial infection.

It may be used in conditions involving:

• Inflammation of the conjunctiva associated with bacterial infection or risk of infection
• Inflammatory conditions of the cornea where corticosteroid therapy is appropriate
• Inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment of the eye
• Selected ocular conditions following injury where inflammation and bacterial infection risk require combined therapy
• Other steroid-responsive ocular inflammatory conditions where an ophthalmic antibiotic is clinically indicated

The exact indication should be determined by an ophthalmologist or qualified healthcare professional.

How Lubricure Eye Drops Work

Tobramycin works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, thereby helping inhibit the growth of susceptible bacteria.

Dexamethasone reduces inflammatory activity and helps control inflammation in steroid-responsive ocular conditions.

Together, the two components provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects when both are clinically required.

Important Information

Lubricure Eye Drops are a prescription ophthalmic medicine and should be used only under the supervision of a qualified ophthalmologist or healthcare professional.

Because the formulation contains a corticosteroid, prolonged or inappropriate use may increase the risk of complications such as increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, cataract formation and delayed corneal healing.

Ophthalmic corticosteroids may also mask or worsen certain eye infections. The medicine should therefore be used only when the prescribing healthcare professional considers corticosteroid therapy appropriate.

Patients with a history of glaucoma, eye infection, corneal problems or other significant ocular conditions should inform their ophthalmologist before using the medicine.

If symptoms worsen, vision changes occur, significant eye pain develops or the condition does not improve as expected, medical evaluation should be sought.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage, frequency and duration of treatment should be determined by the prescribing ophthalmologist according to the patient's condition and clinical response.

Use the eye drops exactly as directed.

Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye, eyelids or other surfaces to help prevent contamination.

Storage

Store according to the storage conditions specified on the approved product label.

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Protect from excessive heat, moisture and direct light where applicable.

Keep out of reach of children.
