Obrin Ointment 5 GM 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 Obrin Ointment 5 GM 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.

• If you're managing bacterial eye infections with Obrin Ointment 5 GM, 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.
