Can tobramycin/dexamethasone susp 5ml be used for the ears ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with doctor: Generally, a drop safe for the eye should be safe for the ear, but the one you mentioned has a steroid in it which might be contraindicated for certain types of ear infections. So, i would check with the prescribing doctor to make sure that the medication is ok to use for the ear problem.
