Can I use Tobax for conjunctivitis in children? The instructions for Tobax Eye Drops clearly mention that there is a possible potential for nephrotoxicity and hearing effects with pediatric use, so use with caution in children. In clinical practice, it is recommended to consider moxifloxacin eye drops, which has a better safety profile, for bacterial conjunctivitis in children. The main ingredient of Tobax is tobramycin. Since the dose of Tobax is used in small amounts and it can be absorbed in trace amounts through the nasal mucosa, it is recommended that the drug be used under the supervision of a physician or discontinued in a timely manner.
