However, it is essential to consult your doctor to determine if this medicine is suitable for your specific condition.
How long should I use Tobdiv Eye Drop?
The duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor, depending on the severity of your infection. For mild to moderate eye infections, your doctor may recommend using 1-2 eye drops, 4 times a day. In severe infections, you may be prescribed 2 drops every hour. It is crucial to use Tobdiv Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your doctor and not to use more or less of it than recommended.
How should I use Tobdiv Eye Drop?
To use Tobdiv Eye Drop, wash your hands thoroughly before application. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface. Tilt your head slightly and instill one drop. Close your eyes for 2-3 minutes with your head tipped down, avoiding blinking or squinting. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of your eye for about 1 minute to prevent the liquid from draining into your tear duct. If you need to use multiple drops, wait about 5 minutes between applications. Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops prescribed by your doctor.

Can I stop using Tobdiv Eye Drop when I feel better?
