Colistin vs. Tobi

Diane

New member
I had terrible problems with inhaling Colistin. I would get so short of breath while inhaling it, i use albuterol right before inhaling it and still have the same problem so i dont inhale it anymore. I prefer to use it in an iv if i need it. Tobi i never had a problem with, but lately i seem to be getting short of breath with that too on occasion.

I had the same problems with TOBI that got increasingly worse so now have been on 28 day cycles of coli for about 5 years. I like it.

It does foam up for me, BUT it actually seems to help me cough out more BECAUSE of the foaming.

Good luck to you!

Both made me SOB. I found that Colistin didn't foam as much using the old style nebulizer kits--the ones you throw away after a couple of weeks--see link.

I suppose there is the argument that you may not be getting the full benefit of the Colistin using these cups?
