Zylet contains two active ingredients: tobramycin and loteprednol etabonate. It is a prescription eye medication used when eye inflammation needs steroid treatment and there is also a bacterial infection or a risk of bacterial infection.

Inflammatory Eye Conditions

Zylet may be used for certain steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye.

These conditions may cause symptoms such as:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Irritation
  • Eye discomfort

Zylet is generally used when a corticosteroid is needed to reduce inflammation and a bacterial infection is also present or considered a risk.

Bacterial Eye Infection Risk

The tobramycin in Zylet helps treat or prevent infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to this antibiotic.

This makes Zylet useful when inflammation and bacterial infection need to be managed at the same time.

How Zylet Works

Zylet combines two different types of medication.

Loteprednol etabonate is a corticosteroid. It helps reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation in the eye.

Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works by stopping susceptible bacteria from making proteins they need to survive and multiply.

Important Note

Zylet should only be used when prescribed by an eye-care professional.

Because it contains a corticosteroid, prolonged or inappropriate use can increase the risk of problems such as higher pressure inside the eye, glaucoma, cataracts, delayed healing, or worsening of certain eye infections.

Zylet is an ophthalmic suspension that is applied directly into the affected eye.

The usual dose is 1 or 2 drops every 4 to 6 hours, as directed by your healthcare provider.

More Frequent Dosing at the Start of Treatment

During the first 24 to 48 hours, your healthcare provider may tell you to use Zylet more often, such as every 1 to 2 hours.

As your eye improves, the dosing frequency may be gradually reduced.

Do not stop Zylet earlier than recommended without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Shake the Bottle Before Use

Because Zylet is a suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose.

This helps mix the medication evenly.

How to Apply Zylet Eye Drops

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
  2. Shake the bottle well.
  3. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  4. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  5. Hold the bottle above your eye without touching your eye or eyelid with the dropper tip.
  6. Place the prescribed number of drops into the pocket.
  7. Gently close your eye for a short time.
  8. If both eyes are being treated, repeat the steps for the other eye.
  9. Replace the cap securely after use.

Keep the Dropper Tip Clean

Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or another surface.

This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Take Zylet Exactly as Prescribed

Do not use more drops or use them more often than directed unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

Because Zylet contains a corticosteroid, prolonged or excessive use can increase the risk of side effects such as increased eye pressure, glaucoma, cataracts, or delayed healing.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Zylet, use it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not use extra drops to make up for the missed dose.

If Your Symptoms Do Not Improve

Contact your healthcare provider if your eye redness, swelling, pain, discharge, or irritation does not improve or becomes worse.

Do not refill or continue Zylet longer than prescribed without having your eye re-evaluated.

Increased Eye Pressure and Glaucoma

Because Zylet contains a corticosteroid, prolonged use can increase pressure inside the eye.

This may lead to:

  • Glaucoma
  • Optic nerve damage
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Changes in the field of vision

If Zylet is used for 10 days or longer, your healthcare provider should monitor your eye pressure.

Cataracts

Long-term use of corticosteroid eye drops can increase the risk of developing a posterior subcapsular cataract.

Tell your healthcare provider if you notice gradually worsening or cloudy vision.

Viral, Fungal, or Mycobacterial Eye Infections

Zylet should not be used for certain nonbacterial eye infections.

These include:

  • Herpes simplex keratitis
  • Chickenpox-related eye infections
  • Vaccinia infections
  • Fungal eye infections
  • Mycobacterial eye infections

The steroid in Zylet can make some of these infections worse or harder to treat.

Delayed Healing

The corticosteroid in Zylet can slow healing in the eye.

This is especially important after eye surgery or in people with thinning of the cornea or sclera.

Rarely, thinning of these tissues can increase the risk of perforation.

Risk of Secondary Eye Infections

Using corticosteroid eye drops for a long time can weaken the eye’s normal defenses.

This may increase the risk of developing a new bacterial or fungal infection.

Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms become worse or new discharge, pain, or redness develops.

Allergic Reactions

Zylet contains tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have had a serious allergic reaction to tobramycin or another aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Seek medical attention if you develop severe swelling, rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

Burning, Stinging, or Eye Irritation

Zylet may cause temporary:

  • Burning
  • Stinging
  • Redness
  • Eye irritation
  • Blurred vision

These effects may improve after the drops are applied.

Contact your healthcare provider if they are severe or persistent.

Driving and Operating Machinery

Your vision may be temporarily blurred after using Zylet.

Wait until your vision is clear before driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires clear eyesight.

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses should generally not be worn while you have an active eye infection or inflammation unless your eye-care professional specifically tells you it is safe.

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about when you can start wearing contact lenses again.

Keep the Bottle Tip Clean

Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or another surface.

Touching the tip can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Your healthcare provider will consider the expected benefits and possible risks before recommending Zylet.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

Your healthcare provider will decide whether Zylet is appropriate based on your treatment needs and the potential risks to your baby.

Using Other Eye Medications

Tell your healthcare provider about all other eye drops, ointments, and medications you use.

If you need more than one eye medication, your healthcare provider or pharmacist can tell you how long to wait between each product.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Contact your healthcare provider if your eye pain, redness, swelling, discharge, or vision problems become worse or do not improve.

Do not continue or refill Zylet for longer than prescribed without having your eyes re-examined.

How many days should I use Zylet?

Use Zylet for exactly as long as your healthcare provider recommends. The treatment length can vary depending on your eye condition and how well you respond. Do not use Zylet for longer than prescribed or refill it without having your eye re-evaluated. If your symptoms do not start to improve after about 2 days, contact your healthcare provider. If Zylet is used for an extended period, your healthcare provider may need to monitor your eye pressure because it contains a corticosteroid.

How long does it take for Zylet to work?

Some people may notice improvement in redness, swelling, or discomfort within the first few days of treatment. How quickly Zylet works depends on the cause and severity of your eye condition. If your symptoms are not improving after about 2 days, or if they become worse, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

How should Zylet be stored?

Store Zylet upright at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Do not freeze the medication. Shake the bottle vigorously before each use because Zylet is a suspension. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children and pets. After opening, Zylet can be used until the expiration date printed on the bottle.

Can I wear contact lenses while using Zylet?

You should not wear soft contact lenses while using Zylet. Zylet contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Eye infections or inflammation can also make contact lens wear uncomfortable or unsafe. Ask your eye-care professional when it is safe to start wearing your contact lenses again.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Zylet?

If you miss a dose, use the drops as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
