Tobramycin is not in the erythromycin family, so it is safe to use if you have an allergy to erythromycin. Tobramycin eye drops also contain dexamethasone and benzalkonium chloride.

It's an antibiotic in the same class as erythromycin. If you have a history of severe allergic reactions to antibiotics in this class-- DEFINITELY consult a pharmacist/physician BEFORE using.
