How long should I use Tob Eye Drop?
The duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor based on the severity of the infection. For mild to moderate infections, your doctor may recommend using Tob Eye Drop for 1-2 times a day for a period of 1-2 weeks. However, if you have severe infections, your doctor may prescribe two drops every hour. Do not exceed or underuse this medication, or use it more frequently than instructed by your doctor. Always follow the prescribed dosage.
How should I use Tob Eye Drop?
Before using Tob Eye Drop, wash your hands thoroughly. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface. Gently tilt your head and instill one drop into your affected eye for 2-3 minutes with your head down. Do not blink or squint while using the medication. To prevent drainage of the medication, press gently on the inner corner of your eye for approximately 1 minute, ensuring that the liquid stays in your eye as intended. If you are using more than one drop, wait at least 5 minutes before instilling another. Do not use any other eye drops until your doctor has prescribed them.
What if I don't get better after using Tob Eye Drop?
Inform your doctor immediately if you do not see improvement after completing the full course of treatment, or if your symptoms are worsening. Do not stop taking Tob Eye Drop without consulting your doctor.
Can I stop using Tob Eye Drop when I feel better?
