I just finished up my 28 days of inhaled TOBI last friday. Today I got a cold sore so I decided to take 1000mg of lysine to help it go away (I haven't taken it before but my sister has). After I took it-I found this online at a few different websites:
<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>What other drugs will affect lysine? The following drugs may become toxic if you take them together with lysine. Tell your healthcare provider if you are using any of these:
gentamicin (Garamycin);
tobramycin (Nebcin, TOBI);
amikacin (Amikin);
kanamycin (Kantrex);
netilmicin (Netromycin);
neomycin (Mycifradin, Neo-Fradin, Neo-Tab);
netilmicin (Netromycin);
streptomycin; or
tobramycin (Nebcin, Tobi).
If you are using any of these drugs, you may not be able to take lysine, or you may need dosage adjustments or special tests during treatment.
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with lysine. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
</end quote></div>
I immediately called my CF center and they said I will be fine-but not to take anymore until they check with the pharmacist. Is anyone else on Tobi and take Lysine for coldsores?
