Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat most bacteria (bugs) that cause eye infections.
Dexamethasone is a steriod used to decrease inflammation of the eye (redness, swelling).
Tobramycin (Tobrex) or combined with dexamethasone (TobraDex) are both used for common eye infections.

Tobradex is a combination eyedrop containing an antibiotic (tobramycin) and an anti-inflammatory steroid (dexamethasone). Commonly, it's used for eye infections like conjunctivitis and/or after surgical eye procedures to reduce the risk of infection and treat inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva

It is an antibiotic for the eye. You don't drink it, these are eye drops. Tobrex is equally good, just a little lighter (I think Tobradex has some cortisone in it).
