Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
Pharmacology:
Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are bactericidal in action and in general exert their action by irreversibly binding to the 305 subunit of bactericidal ribosomes, thereby blocking the recognition step in the protein synthesis and causing misreading of the genetic code. The ribosome separates from the messenger RNA and cell death ensues.
Pregnancy and lactation:
Observe caution if required to be used during pregnancy and lactation
