Hi,

Ciprodex is in the same drug family as the antibiotic in Tobradex and Vigamox. If the later are safe with him, he should be able to use the Ciprodex. You should speak to his doctor about your concerns.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
