It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery immediately after using this medicine as it may cause temporary blurring of vision and may affect your ability to drive.
Directions for Use

How it works
Taflor Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Tobramycin and Fluorometholone. Tobramycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth in the eye by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Fluorometholone is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy.
