Although our study supports the use of the once-daily treatment regimen of nebulized tobramycin, drug safety issues need to be considered when increasing nebulized doses of aminoglycosides. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with CF showed that inhalation of a double tobramycin dose with either... | Erasmus |
