Mechanism of Action:
*Tobramycin:* It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
*Moxifloxacin:* It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include mild burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, temporary blurred vision, redness, and itching.
