Some people notice a reduction in coughing and mucus production. Effects vary by individual and depend on consistent use as prescribed.

What precautions apply to Tobramycin?

Store tobramycin inhalation solution in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep the medication in its original packaging until ready to use.

What does Tobramycin interact with?

Tobramycin inhalation has a low risk of interacting with other medications when used as directed.
