Safely Buy Zylet ( Tobramycin/ Loteprednol etabonate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Zylet is an ophthalmic steroid medication used to treat eye inflammation caused by surgery, infections, allergies, or other conditions.

These eye drops combine tobramycin, an antibacterial, with loteprednol, a corticosteroid. Tobramycin stops the growth and spread of bacterial cells that cause inflammation and discomfort while loteprednol inhibits the inflammatory response in your eyes. Thanks to these actions, Zylet reduces ocular inflammation to relieve discomfort caused by a variety of conditions including infections and allergies.
