Can Tobramycin eye drops cause nausea and diarrhea in dogs??
-
The combination of two drugs, tobramycin an aminoglycoside antibiotic and dexamethasone a corticosteroid, is a human-labeled eye medication. This combination is used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections that also involve inflammation of the eye and surrounding tissue. The most common adverse effects with this combination medication are burning, irritation, swelling and redness of the eye and surrounding tissue. An increase in light sensitivity has also been observed, as the tobramycin can cause eye dilation. As this ophthalmic combination medication is for topical use only, the development of nausea and diarrhea is not a known adverse effect. It is recommended that you contact your veterinarian with any questions regarding the development of nausea and diarrhea while your pet is on this medication. Thank you, VetRxDirect
