Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 , We also used Colimycin inhaled along with Cirpoxin. She has now been PA free for a few years after 12 or so months of intensive treatment. (Australia) Tobi vs Coly... I've been reading that most of your doctors use Tobi to treat PA. When Savannah cultured PA we nebuliezed Coly-Mycin(sp?). Is there a big difference? Savannah is continuously on breathing treatments every 4 hrs. around the clock. She takes Albuterol, Atrovent, and Cromolyn (Intal) each treatment and has two inhalers as well. she also takes 25 mg of Prednisone every other day. She does have MRSA but when that flares up we do nebulized Vancomycin. She takes a lot of other meds as well but I was most curious about the Tobi vs the Coly- Mycin.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 , That's great! Savannah hasn't been as lucky but so far not much lung damage due to PA. Savannah has never been on Tobi so I had nothing to compare the Coly-Myacin to. Take Care- Mom to 2 w/o CF and Savannah w/ CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
