My friend Pseudomonas!

I also use the tobramycin IV for nebbing (Tobi not avail here in SA as far as I know).
I use 2x 80mg 2ml vials undiluted, once a day. After bronchodilator+hypertonic saline/physio. I have not really used it long term, usually a month at a time although I <i>think</i> the practice here is to use it ongoing, not month-on-month-off. Personally I am still deciding whether it is worth the time it takes, I am not the biggest fan. But I find doing hypertonic saline very beneficial as it really loosens the muck, and exercise for that matter, and this plays the biggest role in the quest to stay healthy. I take azithromycin, but no other long term oral abx. I have never been able to get rid of the Pseudomonas, I have always had it and it shows up on every culture.
