Is Is Safe To Take Ketotifen Fumerate Drops For Pink Eye?
I was perscribed Tobramycin Opthalmic solution 0.3%, for my pink eye three days ago. After working on the computer my eyes appear to be strained and dried out. I also have allergies to the dog living in my house and wanted to know if it is safe to use Ketotifen fumerate opthalmic 0.035% along with my perscription eye drops.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are prescribed tobramycin eye drops for pink eye as a result of acute conjunctivitis.
Tobramycin is a antibiotic and it can be used for treatment of infections of eye.
Ketotifen is anti - allergic medication and it is used for treatment of allergies.
Since you also have allergies ketotifen can be used . This can be safely used with tobramycin and no reactions will occur.
Thank you
