TL;DR
Exact active-ingredient equivalents of Okomistin and Vitabakt may be unavailable or inconsistently stocked in Tbilisi. Check PSP, Aversi, GPC and Pharmadepot, and ask a pharmacist or ophthalmologist for a symptom-appropriate alternative.
Start by checking the websites or calling PSP, Aversi, GPC and Pharmadepot. This is the most practical way to confirm whether Okomistin or the required eye drops are in stock before visiting a branch.
Okomistin and Vitabakt may not have consistently available exact active-ingredient equivalents. Ask for Okomistin by its international name or as “ოქომისტინი” in Georgian, but choose a substitute only for the specific eye condition involved.
If a clinician or pharmacist considers a substitute appropriate, Tbilisi pharmacies may offer antimicrobial drops containing tobramycin (Tobrex, Tobrin), levofloxacin (Oftaquix, Leflox), ofloxacin (Floxal), or chloramphenicol (Levomycetin). These have different ingredients and are not direct equivalents of Okomistin or Vitabakt.
