How long do symptoms of pink eye take to disappear on tobramycin?

Few days: Few days to a week. But since most pink eye are due to virus, the tobramycin wont help, and it can last a week or so.

Often makes it worse: I never seen good results with tobramycin. It is irritating to the eye. It is useful for a contact lens patient until they see an eye md.
