Tocin Eye Ointment 5gm contains one active ingredient, which is Tobramycin (0.3%), Here's how it works:

• Binds to bacterial ribosomes: Tobramycin binds irreversibly with certain parts of bacteria called 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits. Ribosomes are responsible for creating proteins that are necessary for bacteria to function and multiply.

• Inhibits protein synthesis: Tobramycin works by binding to these ribosomes, preventing them from producing essential proteins.

• Disrupts cell membrane permeability: This interference in protein production changes the permeability, or "leakiness," of the bacterial cell membrane.

• Leads to bacterial cell death: With their cell membrane disrupted and protein production halted, susceptible bacteria can no longer function properly or multiply, leading eventually to their death.

• Keep Tocin Eye Ointment 5gm below 25°C for optimal preservation.

• Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.

• Keep this ointment out of the reach of children for their safety.

• Always check the expiry date before applying; do not use it if expired.

• If you're managing bacterial eye infections with Tocin Eye Ointment 5gm, make sure to maintain good eye hygiene. This includes washing your hands before touching your eyes and using clean towels and face cloths to prevent reinfection.

• Aim to boost your immune system by incorporating foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes into your diet. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and can aid in quicker healing.
