Tobi and Hoarseness

[Guest guest]

Dear Norma,

Thank for the clarification. Glad to hear that there is a substitute for the Tobi as my Plumonologist said I may one day become resistant to it as I have been on it for several years. I will keep the name of Polymyxin B in my records. Thank you.

Have you ever become hoarse from the Tobi? I have had that happen to me on several occasions and I'm experiencing it right now. I thought it might be from my new ParoNeb Ultra Plus nebulizer as it supposed to deliver the meds in 1/2 the time, but it doesn't. I switched back to my Omron and I'm still hoarse.
