What if tobramycin is swallowed?

If tobramycin is swallowed, it may lead to gastrointestinal irritation or other side effects, as it is primarily intended for topical or inhalation use. Ingesting tobramycin can potentially cause systemic effects, especially in individuals with kidney issues, as the drug can be nephrotoxic. If ingestion occurs, it is important to seek medical advice or contact a poison control center for guidance. Always follow prescribed methods of administration for medications.
