Hi,

I'm on Medicare for the past two years, and Tobi Nebs has a deductible of just about $1000/mo. instead, I have to use tobramycin injectable in my nebulizer which so far has worked fine for me.EILEEN

I'm very sorry to hear about the drug cost problem you all have. I believe that Tobi is the prefered inhaled antibiotic and it is covered in the US under Medicare Part B . I think your physician should be culturing your sputum and choosing the most cost effective drug.

You are correct about the $1000, my part b supplement covers that.How do you dilute the injectable?Has your sputum been cultured for susceptible organisms to target them?
