Thought this was interesting as there is no approved inhaled treatment for MRSA in lung

This is good news, I hope it is successful. I have heard of people doing off-label inhaled vancomycin. I was thinking of trying to see if I could try it, since MRSA seems to be my biggest issue of late. Not to hijack the thread, but I am curious if anyone has any positive results with doing off label inhaled vanco.

Yes, very good news. I had a discussion with one of my CF docs (she's an ID doc). She said that the studies they did on off label inhaled antibiotics often showed that they were ineffective doses or that the stabilizers/preservatives in IV preparations cause more inflammation in the lungs. She will only Rx antibiotics which have inhaled preparations because of this. Having an inhaled preparation of Vanc will help a lot of people.
